I do think that the community will improve content as the time progresses. The community has been working hard on translation as well.
But I do see some pages which are not written well and contain machine translations. Such as
<goog_1512637911> https://beta.wikiversity.org/wiki/%E0%A4%90%E0%A4%B0%E0%A5%8B%E0%A4%B8%E0%A5...

Well, the part in [brackets] was "the lack of effort to even localize the comments in the code samples" and I did mention that it was being

I also now see that the email address is in fact yours. I am not sure
that
there is any precedent elsewhere for such byline templates on other Wikimedia projects.

To piggyback on what Justin is saying (and also via Phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T168765#3376191):
I am not a Hindi speaker, but I can at least discern Devanagari text and the English loanwords in it. Justin's first link is to "Category:Intelligence" with subcategory "Artificial intelligence".
His
second link (Computer Programming/IDE/Visual Basic .NET/...) bears
only
a link to a Japanese online IDE. His third link (Computer Graphics/2013-2014/"Page Foot", a page footer which is transcluded elsewhere) has an email address prefixed with a link to @Jayprakash12345 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/p/Jayprakash12345/'s
userpage--maybe it
is his own email address?
The problems of most pages only consisting of source code is indeed inherited from the English Wikiversity courses to which the pages are linked. Nevertheless, from seeing at least [the lack of effort to even localize the comments in the code samples], and perhaps from seeing
the
lack of something more substantial in the way of content revolving around those code samples, and perhaps more so from Jayprakash12345 being the
only
consistent contributor going back at least a month, I must thus agree
with
his assessment that opening hiwikiversity would be a disaster. My
personal
opinion is that other Hindi projects (such as hiwikisource and
hiwikiquote)
could be populated more easily and meaningfully at this point, but I
would
digress to elaborate on that and the whole process of site requests more generally here.
(Edits since the original comment was made: It appears judging from https://beta.wikiversity.org/wiki/Special:
RecentChangesLinked/Category:
HI
that 1) the subcategory "Artificial intelligence" has been deleted and 2) the part in [brackets] above is being addressed slowly.)

Is this really ready? I don't read Hindi but the main category has 84 subcategories and 25 are empty (many only have subcategories which
are
themselves empty, such as https://beta.wikiversity.org/ wiki/Category:इंटेलिजेंस) There are 578 pieces of content, many of which are just one or two lines, such as https://beta.wikiversity.org/ wiki/कंप्यूटर_प्रोग्रामिंग/IDE/विजुअल_बेसिक_.नेट/Online/Free or https://beta.wikiversity.org/wiki/%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%82%E0%A4%AA%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4...

which is mostly someone's personal email address. Remove categories and erroneously-categorized userpages and that becomes 490. This includes almost 100 pages which are part of some Linux code such as https://beta.wikiversity.org/wiki/%E0%A4%B2%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%A8%E0%A4%95%E0%A5.... Remove *those* and it's 401 which includes purely cosmetic templates and pages like https://beta.wikiversity.org/wiki/Portal:Engineering/box-footer. The actual amount of content seems like something that one person could make over a long weekend. How is this supposed to be a live project?
This
seems like a misstep.
Creating a new project is a big responsibility and with 500 pages in
five
and a half years? And most of them are either copy-pasted Linux code or one line long? That is not a thriving community. This is a recipe for disaster.
