We are thrilled to share that an interdisciplinary proposal for the Centre for Research and Intervention in Language Performance, envisioned as a Centre of Excellence, has been selected for funding by the Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF), with an upper funding ceiling of ₹15 crores. Led by Dr. Sudharshana N. P. (Department of Humanities and Social Sciences) as Principal Investigator, with the following Co-PIs: Ark Verma (Department of Cognitive Science), Arnab Bhattacharya (Department of Computer Science & Engineering), Chaithra Puttaswamy (Department of Humanities and Social Sciences), Himanshu Yadav (Department of Cognitive Science) and Lalit Saraswat (Department of Humanities and Social Sciences). The Centre aims to advance research and intervention in language performance by measuring proficiency across up to 12 Indian languages in speaking, listening, reading, and writing, diagnosing speech and communication disorders, developing effective language teaching-learning interventions, and creating large- scale benchmark datasets for Indian languages.
