The HRD ministry will soon launch a web portal - 'Bharatvani' - which will contain various subjects from agriculture to economics to sciences in 22 Indian languages.
Replying to a debate in Rajya Sabha on the functioning of the functioning of her ministry, HRD minister Smriti Irani said work is also going on in dictionaries that bridge hindi with 30 tribal languages.
She said that because of the Election Code of Conduct being in force, she could not launch the 'Bharatvani' in last month she had planned.
The minute the Code of Conduct is over, she said, she would launch this portal, which would have subject matter in 22 Indian languages this year and in 100 Indian languages next year.
The Bharatvani language would help students, whose first language in not English, she said.
