Mahavistaar Glossary

About Dataset

Bhili is an indigenous Indo-Aryan language spoken by over 10 million members of the Bhil tribal community across western and central India. Through Project Astitva, Karya collaborated with 400+ native Bhili speakers in partnership with the district administration of Nandurbar, Maharashtra, to create high-quality digital language resources for Dehwali Bhili. These efforts enabled the development of India's first tribal language model in Bhili, which has subsequently been integrated into MahaVISTAAR AI with support from the Maharashtra state government and Bhashini.The Mahavistaar Multi-Language Glossary for Agriculture and Pest Management dataset is a collection of unique data points containing glossary terms in multiple languages, specifically English, Marathi, and Dehwali Bhili. The primary purpose of this dataset is to provide a comprehensive repository of terms related to agriculture and pest management, enabling users to access and utilize this information for research, education, and decision-making purposes. This dataset is designed for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners working in the field of agriculture, forestry, and rural development, as well as those interested in language and cultural studies. Potential use cases for this dataset include analyzing language patterns, identifying knowledge gaps, and developing targeted interventions for agricultural development. The dataset covers a range of topics, including pest management, crop varieties, and agricultural practices, providing a valuable resource for stakeholders seeking to improve agricultural productivity and sustainability.
