The Central Institute of Indian Languages (CIIL) celebrates its Golden Jubilee this year after completing 50 years of excellence. The Institute was established on July 17, 1969 by the Government of India in Mysuru to help in evolving and implementing the language policy of the Government and to coordinate the development of Indian Languages by conducting research in the areas of language analysis, language pedagogy, language technology and language use in the society.
It began its journey with several units of research such as Tribal and Border Languages, Sociolinguistics, Phonetics, Psycholinguistics, Material Production and Training, Testing and Evaluation, Educational Technology, Lexicography and Translation, Cartography, Folklore and Computer Applications. In addition to this, seven Regional Language Centres were set up at Mysuru, Patiala, Bhubaneswar, Pune, Lucknow, Solan and Guwahati with a goal of implementing the three-language formula and thereby contribute to national integration. These Centres offer a 10-month Diploma in Language Education in second languages and teach 20 Indian languages to non-native speakers mainly to in-service teachers, prospective teachers, research scholars and general public. CIIL was one of the few institutions that initiated work on natural language processing in the early 1990s. It has interdisciplinary academic collaborations with various institutions at both national and international levels. The Institute is well-recognised by the academic fraternity across the globe for the quality of its wide-ranging linguistic research and language studies.
