+## About
+
+NextGen Technologies Research Foundation (in short, NGTRF) is an initiative to research Natural Language Processing, Machine Translation for Indian languages and also research Quantum Computing and Deep Learning.
+Objective
+
+The NGTRF aims to
+
+    Build NLP/MT models in Indian Languages,
+    Fine-tuned existing models for Indian Languages, and
+    Train Enthusiasts in these areas.
+
+The data, code, and models will be available to the public for research and non-commercial purposes.
+## Why NGTRF
+
+    First: Though many LLMs support multilingual, including Odia language, the performance for various tasks (e.g., content generation, question-answering) is limited due to the amount of ingested data for Odia.
+
+    Second: There are subscriptions or fees associated with the high-performing LLMs.
+
+    Third: The usage (privacy) and bias of data input to these LLMs are in question.
+
+## What are the focus research areas of NGTRF
+
+We have divided the primary focus areas into three parts.
+
+1. Literature Survey: Investigate the latest developments in NLP/MT/QC domains and analyze current methods to support different tasks.
+
+2. Development: Developing pre-trained and fine-tuned models, which includes dataset preparation, model training, evaluation, prompt engineering, and API development.
+
+3. Deployment: Deploy the models for public access for research and non-commercial purposes.
+## Who can use NGTRF Models
+
+The models (pre-trained/fine-tuned) will be available through Hugging Face for research and non-commercial purposes. Feel free to contact us for a domain-specific application or particular use cases.
+## What are the use cases of these models
+
+There are several use cases of these models. Three primary domains relating to Rajasthan which we are focusing to use the developed models are:
+
+    Education
+    Healthcare
+    Governance
+    Tourism
+    Agriculture
+    Industrial Application
