Gondi (Adilabad) Dictionary

Gondi is an app that provides users with access to a dictionary that describes the variety of Gondi spoken in Adilabad District of Telangana State. The app was created as a result of several collaborative efforts over several decades. The app contains entries that were written by two scholars who worked on the grammar of Gondi. The app also includes a description of the Adilabad Dialect of Gondi and a Descriptive Grammar of Gondi. The app was built on the work done by those earlier scholars and was digitised so that it could be included in the database. A community-based Dictionary Development Programme was initiated by the Education Department as part of the Multi-Lingual Education Drive being implemented by various ITDAs. In January 2017, this dictionary was released to the public via an Android App under the directorship of Sri R V Karnan IAS, Project Officer, Integrated Tribal Development Agency (ITDA). It is a dictionary by the people, for the people.
