CAG and BHASHINI Launch AI Translation Tool for Audit Papers

The Digital India BHASHINI Division (DIBD), which works under the Digital India Corporation in the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, joined the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India to launch CAG-BHASHINI Anuvaad. It is a document translation tool built by BHASHINI for official papers of the CAG and for reports tied to audit work.

Where it was launched

The launch took place at the CAG Office in New Delhi, at the closing ceremony of the 74th Hindi Diwas and Hindi Pakhwada 2026. K. Sanjay Murthy, Comptroller and Auditor General of India, attended along with senior officers of the institution: A. M. Bajaj, Deputy Comptroller and Auditor General, Dr Nilotpal Goswami, Additional Deputy Comptroller and Auditor General, and Atoorva Sinha, Director General.

What the tool does

CAG-BHASHINI Anuvaad has been shaped as a language artificial intelligence tool made to order for the audit institution, with attention to keeping terminology consistent, translating with context and holding output quality. It gives an AI-backed setting for translating official papers while answering the institution's needs on security, controlled access and data sovereignty, and human oversight stays in place. The CAG said audit findings and reports should reach citizens in languages they can read, and that technology can carry audit information into local and regional languages.

How large BHASHINI has grown

Amitabh Nag, Chief Executive Officer of the Digital India BHASHINI Division, spoke about the platform growing across language data, models and use cases, and about building a sovereign language AI base suited to the country's many languages. Its public-service uses now include farm advisory in several languages, grievance registration and processing by voice, and services reached through voice and telephone.

Hindi Pakhwada with technology

The collaboration also covered Hindi Pakhwada 2026, held from 14 to 29 September 2026. Besides the usual language events, BHASHINI-built language activities and games were added so that officers and staff could try language technology themselves. Competitions covered official language use, noting and drafting in Hindi, translation and typing, and winners were given prizes and certificates at the closing ceremony.
