BhashaX
1. Whooping 6.56 Billion Humans on Earth don’t speak English, a language on which programming is heavily dependent. Programming is also deemed as the most important job skill of the future. English might emerge as a barrier for 83% of the population living on earth.
2. BhashaX breaks the barrier by allowing users to code in their mother tongue or the language of their choice. It shall not only enable people of any background to easily understand and better grasp the concepts of Computer Science but also makes their transition in English smoother.
3. As coding and computer science have become a vital part of the economy I feel it is very important that all our fellow humans, no matter their language is included in the revolution
BhashaX is trying to break the language barrier for all, interested in programming, necessary for future generations and make Computer Science inclusive for all.
Project BhashaX can provide support for a literally UNLIMITED number of languages, this also means that one can create his/her own language in BhashaX. For any language, BhashaX requires two files only, firstly the Environment file which anyone can create or reuse, and secondly the official transpiler. The environment file contains a map of important words and is used by the transpiler to translate syntax to the original language. This enables BhashaX language users to harness the utter power of the original language and its modules. Example Bhasha Python (BhashaPy) shall have syntax extremely similar to Python, and Bhasha Python transcompiler converts BhashaPy back to Python. One can also use packages like TensorFlow, pygame, Tkinter, etc in BhashaPy.
BhashaX’s main target is to provide the entire population on Earth a platform in which they can code in their mother tongue, be it Hindi, Mandarin, English, Spanish, Bengali, etc. Coding being one of the most important skills of the future shall be a necessity for most people. Currently, language emerges as a hurdle in people from underprivileged backgrounds from dwelling in Computer Science.
Therefore BhashaX can act as a helping hand for people of non-English background to coding. People tend to understand better and clearer in their native language, kickstarting their voyage in Computer Science.
- Equip everyone, regardless of age, gender, education, location, or ability, with culturally relevant digital literacy skills to enable participation in the digital economy.
The challenge focuses on building an inclusive digital economy, that allows everyone to lead a dignified and productive life and it won't be possible unless people know the necessary skills of modern-day like programming. But language might emerge as a barrier while trying to learn to program. BhashaX mitigates the issues by allowing everyone to code in their mother tongue and become future-ready and positively contribute to the economy.
- Pilot: An organization deploying a tested product, service, or business model in at least one community.
The project's first few versions have been released for all. People from different parts of the earth are trying and providing feedback for the platform.
- A new application of an existing technology
The solution is innovative as it has the potential to allow programming in a literally UNLIMITED number of languages. And anyone in the world can code in their mother tongue language.

Within 3 days of the project, we had served more than 150+ enthusiasts from different countries. and language background. In the upcoming year I think to serve at least 1000+ people and by five years more than 30,000+ people. If we get support from this challenge we might be able to achieve to more than double targets at the same time.
There are analytical APIs installed on the website. Also, I am planning to soon release a membership system on the website, which would help us to keep a track of user usage and how helpful the project is. Also, I have started a discord community where I am constantly coordinating with users for their feedback, upgrades, etc.
- Not registered as any organization
Currently, I am the only member but a very large number of family, friends, relatives, and other acquaintances have come forward, and are eager to join the team.
I and interested team members have an extremely large network and bring together an extremely fine skill set. Also, many professionals are ready to provide us with mentorship. Overall the team is completely capable not only to complete targets but outperform them.
In the near future, the team would open for all to become a part. And we would especially promote members from odd backgrounds to contribute to the team and community.
- Individual consumers or stakeholders (B2C)
I believe that it is very important for all to learn programming, as it shall drive the future, in order to do so we must immediately break language as a barrier. I am sure that the challenge and partner organizations can play a pivotal role in the project and give us a platform to serve the various communities for free.
- Human Capital (e.g. sourcing talent, board development, etc.)
- Legal or Regulatory Matters
- Public Relations (e.g. branding/marketing strategy, social and global media)
- Monitoring & Evaluation (e.g. collecting/using data, measuring impact)
- Product / Service Distribution (e.g. expanding client base)
- Technology (e.g. software or hardware, web development/design, data analysis, etc.)
At BhashaX I am currently searching for ways to reach a wider audience and how we can empower our key stakeholders to use BhashaX to its full potential.
The project would like to partner with each and every organization, there's a space for each organization, scholars, etc as the project spans across technology, Cybersecurity, Language, Behaviour, Skills, Economy. Distribution, etc.
- Yes, I wish to apply for this prize
BhashaX would like itself to be considered for The ASA Prize for Equitable Education will as it is a digital solution that can be tailored to U.S.-based primary and secondary classrooms that provide career exploration or experimentation keeping U.S. demographic shift in mind. BhashaX can be embedded as part of the core curriculum, utilize project-based learning, and ensure equitable access. BhashaX is committed to helping students do better in Computer Science r any other career goal as programming is essential these days. We contribute to the creation of equitable classrooms, digital inclusion, Antiracist Technology, and Indigenous Communities by breaking Language as a barrier in the realm of Computer Science.
- Yes, I wish to apply for this prize
BhashaX would like itself to be considered for The Andan Prize for Innovation in Refugee Inclusion as it promotes economic, financial, and political inclusion of refugees by teaching them computer science, the necessary skill of modern-days in their mother tongue.
