C-DAC, under the guidance of The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), and valuable support from the Department of Science and Technology (DST), is leading the development of digital standards for Indian languages to enable their seamless integration with the internet and emerging technologies.

As part of this effort, the “AKSHAR Document” series has been envisaged to define Coded Character Sets and Composition Rules for scheduled Indian languages. The aforesaid draft standard defines the character repertoire for Hindi, ABNF rules for permissible character combinations, and provides a reference implementation for validation.

This document will form the foundation for ensuring consistency, accuracy, and interoperability in the digital processing of Indian scripts across platforms and applications.

The document has been published by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) for public consultation and is open for comments until 21st September, 2025.

The draft may be accessed at the following link:

ड्राफ्ट मानक में यह सुनिश्चित किया जाए कि यह भविष्य की तकनीकों (जैसे कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्ता, मशीन अनुवाद, स्पीच-टू-टेक्स्ट और टेक्स्ट-टू-स्पीच सिस्टम) के साथ सहज रूप से कार्य कर सके। यदि हिंदी के लिए मानकीकृत कोडिंग और अक्षर संयोजन उपलब्ध होंगे, तो AI आधारित अनुप्रयोगों में अधिक सटीकता और प्राकृतिकता लाई जा सकेगी।

As we all know that India is the Country of Varity of People speaking different language . Having One National Language is Impossible as well as possible. On International level we should have one language but on state level it seems impossible. In some state revenue record is in there local language like in Jammu and Kashmir Urdu is considered as National language of the state because all revenue record is in Urdu so the same is with other state. If we talk about the Hindi language it seems difficult to change all the ancient record in other language . we hve tow ways to go through . so we have to decide very wisely what should we have to do with the language

I really appreciate the initiative of introducing the Draft Indian Language Standard ‘Akshar’ for Hindi. In today’s digital world, it is very important to have a uniform system that makes our language easier to use across different platforms. I feel this step will not only preserve the beauty of Hindi but also make it more accessible for people in technology and communication. It will definitely encourage more usage of Hindi online and create new opportunities for innovation. Overall, a very thoughtful and much-needed effort.

4. Certain features of the “Devanāgarī Script behaviour for Hindi” such as the shapes can also be used for testing Optical Character Recognition and Online Handwriting Recognition. Similarly information regarding ligatures as well as collation order can help in high-end NLP work such as detecting invalid combinations, correct implementation of syllable structure,prediction routines to name a few. Information regarding collation and character sets can be also used for CLDR. 5. It permits the software developer to design and implement the input mechanism using standard keyboard layouts, which will meet the requirement of the particular linguistic community. 6. The collation or sort order of Hindi as described in a section 6.3.5 of “Devanāgarī Script behaviour for Hindi” permits the software developer to write software functions/ routines for sorting data in all applications.
