CENTIL is primarily engaged in facilitating the translation of Indian bhasa literature primarily into English, Bangla and Nepali, with a special focus on indigenous and marginalised traditions. It tries to disseminate the study of these literatures from various Indian bhasas by building an archive of these texts in translation. Thus, CENTIL has been involved in archiving and translating printed and oral texts from languages like Nepali, Bangla, Odia, Asamiya, Bodo, Lepcha, Sadri and Kurux. A number of volumes of translations from various Indian bhasas have already been published. These include anthologies of Indian Nepali-language short stories in English and Bangla translation, Lepcha folk tales and folk songs in Bangla translation, Bodo short stories in Bangla and English translation (in press) and anthologies of critical writings from Bangla in English translation, among others. One of the distinctive features of CENTIL is the active participation of students in our translation activities. A very large portion of the translation work is done by students of various departments of Jadavpur University as well as from outside who do the certificate course on “Translation as a Skill” offered by CENTIL The course is a UGC-sponsored course aimed to hone practical translation skills and to create a group of trained translator ready to take on the challenges of translation in contemporary India. Students of this course have been deeply involved in CENTIL projects and have done much of the work undertaken by CENTIL. The course itself sees training being imparted to the would-be translators by faculty from different educational institutions working with translation, professional translators, editors and publishers. It also often incorporates translation workshops undertaken in collaboration with organisations like the Sahitya Akademi, the Asiatic Society, the British Centre for Literary Translation, University of East Anglia, the National Centre for Writing, Norwich, the Writing and Society Research Centre, University of Western Sydney, Shri Shikshayatan College, Kolkata, and Gurudas College, Kolkata. CENTIL is also engaged in translation of indigenous writing from other parts of the world in keeping with its agenda of exploring the convergences between indigenous and marginalised traditions of India and the rest of the world. Activities like these have produced volumes like Broken by Neglect/ Bhangon Name Bukey, a bilingual edition of English-language poems of Australiam indigenous poet, Ali Cobby Eckermann, and their Bangla translations.
