Lingua Net, as the name suggests has the twin goals of working in the area of languages and using the resources of the information technology for this. Expectedly we have tried to bring in the expertise of specialists from both the areas.
Language is universal. We wish to work on both Indian and major international languages so that we can search for the as yet elusive universals of language.
We propose to create scientific and user-friendly applications and utilities for learners and all language users.
The study of grammar is taboo to many a learners. Grammatical theory has reached a no man’s land today. We wish to create interest in language by making it popular through interactive communication.
In pursuance of the above objectives we have planned the following activities.
1. Development of useful applications such as Spelling and Grammar Check for languages .
2. Giving access to interactive, multimedia resources to language learners and users.
3. Creation of forums for interaction on various aspects of language study.
4. Work on specific projects for production of programs and applications.
We are collaborating with JAJ Technology Services Pvt. Ltd (www.jajtechnologies.com) headed by Shri. Jeevan
Asija in all our programmes. They provide us IT support as well as administrative services.
JANEPA is the original company created by Prof. Jagannathan with the publication of छात्रकोश
(An Advanced Learners’ Dictionary of Hindi). After the initial success of the dictionary of the dictionary
Lingua Net Pvt. Ltd. Was created to further the work with the ambitious programme of ज्ञानकोश
(Encyclopaedic dictionary of Hindi) was started. JANEPA still provides us support in our endeavour.
We have academic collaboration with Zabaan (www.zabaan.com) in the development of online and offline
Courses for Indian languages.
Since Lingua Net is a net based company we are not into publication of books. However we do collaborate with
publishers and material developers for publishing our programmes. Thus we are collaborating with
Rachna Sagar Pvt. Ltd. (www.rachnasagar.in) for production of linguistically oriented learning material for
Hindi language teaching.
We are also in touch with book publishers for physical production of ज्ञानकोश (Encyclopaedic dictionary of Hindi)
whenever it gets ready.
We are working on providing consultancy to State Governments as well as universities and academic institutions in the development of similar programmes in regional languages. We will give information when the programmes get ready.
We are in contact with IT companies for sharing the applications made.
