IGNOU 2025 MBA Programme: What is Anivadini?
Anivadini is an AI-powered translation tool, which translates academic resources to regional languages for non-English speaking students.
The development by the IGNOU is part of the E-Kumbh project, a national collaboration between IGNOU and the AICTE. The MBA course in Hindi and Odia will help students understand complex business concepts in their mother tongue, the university said.
Last month, the IGNOU launched project Udaan , an AI-powered translation tool, with collaboration with the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay). The project will help in delivering the translation of academic and technical content into Indian languages.
