About

I am a linguist and researcher working in the areas of multilingual education, language assessment, and language policy in India. Over the past decade, my work has focused on strengthening the role of Bharatiya languages in education, governance, and national development, in alignment with the objectives of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.

My work lies at the intersection of linguistics, educational assessment, and technology, particularly in the development of large-scale multilingual item banks, technology-enabled language proficiency tests, and digital resources for language learning and evaluation. A key focus of my work has been to ensure that language assessment systems in Indian languages are scientifically designed, scalable, and aligned with international frameworks such as the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), while remaining responsive to India’s multilingual and multicultural context.

I have contributed to the design and development of language proficiency tests, textbooks, and examination materials for diverse domains including school education, higher education, teacher training, banking recruitment, and national-level examinations. My work spans all Scheduled languages of India as well as several non-Scheduled languages, contributing to the development of one of the largest multilingual language-assessment databanks in the country, comprising thousands of calibrated test items and evaluation resources.
