Srinagar, Jul 15: The Jammu & Kashmir government has decided to outsource the job of translation of government orders, office memos, notifications, circulars, statutory orders into official languages of the Union Territory.
To begin with, the General Administration Department (GAD) has invited bids from well-established and registered service providers for translation of important statutory orders, government orders, and other government documents into Hindi, Urdu, Dogri and Kashmiri – the official languages of the Union Territory.
Documents reveal that orders, circulars, notifications etc. issued by the General Administration Department in English language would be translated into four official languages of the UT.
The period of contract for translation service will be ideally up to 31″ March 2023 or till the General Administration Department requires the service. It is worthwhile to mention that the Parliament passed a bill in 2020 for the adoption of Hindi, Kashmiri, Dogri, Urdu and English as the official languages of the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir.
