The Central Government has launched the Sign Learn to make Indian Sign Language usage more widespread.

• Sign Learn is a mobile application-based Indian Sign Language Dictionary having 10,000 words.
• The application was launched by the Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment Pratima Bhoumik.
• It was developed based on the Indian Sign Language Dictionary of the Indian Sign Language Research And Training Centre (ISLRTC).
• In the application, all the words can be searched either in Hindi or English.
• The purpose of this mobile application is to make Indian Sign Language (ISL) more accessible for the general public.
• All sign videos in the application can be shared via social media.
• It was launched on the occasion of Sign Language Day.
• On this occasion, ISL e-content of NCERT textbooks of class 6 and Indian Sign Language versions of selected books of ‘Veergatha’ series were launched.
• The e-content was developed after an MoU was signed in 2020 for converting NCERT textbooks for classes 1 to 12 into digital ISL format to make them more accessible for children having hearing disabilities.
