Experts collaborate to develop Maithili glossary for technical terms
Hindustan TimesExperts in Sanskrit, Maithili, journalism, chemistry, and environmental sciences collaborated to develop a glossary of Maithili for technical terms in journalism, chemistry, and environmental sciences in a five-day workshop at LN Mithila University, which concluded on Saturday. “Over 2,000 words were translated from English to Maithili in journalism and mass media and compiled into a glossary, which will be published by the Commission for Scientific and Technical Terminology,” said professor Prem Mohan Mishra, the head of the post graduate department of chemistry at LNMU, which hosted the workshop in association with CSTT. The CSTT’s efforts to standardize technical terms in regional languages align with the goals of the National Education Policy 2020, which emphasizes the empowerment of students from regional language backgrounds. By standardizing technical terminology, the CSTT aims to improve the availability of learning material in these languages,” said Chakpram Binodini Devi, assistant director at CSTT, who was present as official observer for the workshop.
