About Anuvada Sampada

Non-availability of academic resources in Indian languages is a major constraint in expanding access to education and ensuring inclusion. Azim Premji University started Anuvada Sampada to help students from diverse economic backgrounds to engage more deeply with concepts and ideas currently available only in English, encourage nuanced debates, and develop perspectives in diverse contexts. The repository is expected to help promote original writing, reading, deliberation and discourse in Hindi and Kannada.
