About the initiative
About AICTE VAANI
AICTE–VAANI (Vibrant Advocacy for Advancement and Nurturing of Indian Languages) is an AICTE initiative that supports technical education, research and knowledge exchange in Indian languages. The scheme encourages regional conferences, seminars and workshops where students, faculty, researchers and industry professionals can discuss emerging technologies. It seeks to make technical knowledge more accessible and broaden participation in India’s scientific and technological development.AICTE–VAANI: Vibrant Advocacy for Advancement and Nurturing of Indian Languages The AICTE–VAANI Scheme, a flagship initiative of the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), is envisioned to strengthen the role of Indian languages in technical education, research, innovation, and knowledge dissemination. Rooted in India’s rich linguistic heritage and diversity, the initiative seeks to bridge language barriers in higher education by encouraging meaningful engagement with technical and scientific knowledge through regional languages.
