Google has announced the second edition of the Google News Initiative Indian Languages Program, which aims to promote and enhance content in 9 different Indian languages.
In June 2023, Google News Initiative launched the Indian Languages Program to support local news publications in India. To empower publications that deliver news in local languages, Google said it plans to offer technical support, access to training, funding to improve digital operations and increase the reach of these publications.
Google says the first edition helped modernise the online presence of Indian language news publishers and “had more than 300 news publishers, spanning 9 Indian languages, participating and benefiting from the program.” Now, the tech giant has announced the second edition of the GNI Indian Languages Program in partnership with FICCI and the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) to promote more Indic languages.
