Welcome to the 2nd BHASHA Workshop at ICON 2026!

The 2nd Workshop on BHASHA: Benchmarks, Harmonization, Annotation, and Standardization for Human-Centric AI in Indian Languages is scheduled on December 20, 2026 and will be held at Gauhati University, Assam, India.

India, despite being a linguistically rich country with 22 official languages, does not enjoy the benefits of NLP research according to the potential. The special nature of Indian languages, from being inflectional and agglutinative to having a free word order, does not let direct usage of tools built for other languages. The 2nd BHASHA workshop, to be held with the ICON 2026 conference, aims to address these issues. The focus is on creating tools, benchmarks, resources, annotated corpora, evaluation metrics, etc. for Indian languages. Peer reviewed submissions are sought through direct submission.
