[smc-discuss] IT Mission Programme in Malayalam language Technology , Today Tomorrow

[Anivar Aravind]

I thought this is a programme is a followup of  VK Sasidharan's
response in this thread
as a followup of DAKF's mail and SMC's letter to CM
http://www.google.com/buzz/113802473597883245288/NzmDMThtiKr/%E0%B4%92%E0%B4%B0-%E0%B4%B8-%E0%B4%B9-%E0%B4%A4-%E0%B4%A4-%E0%B4%A8-%E0%B4%B1-%E0%B4%9A-%E0%B4%A6-%E0%B4%AF

But agenda does not look like satifying the motive listed in the
programme website . This seems like a different programme altogether

രേഖകള്‍ തയ്യാറാക്കുന്നതിനുള്ള സമഗ്രമായ ഒരു പദ്ധതിയാണ് വേണ്ടത്.
ഇതിലേയ്ക്കുള്ള മുന്നോടിയായി ഇപ്പോള്‍ വിവിധ സ്ഥാപനങ്ങളില്‍ നടന്നു
വരുന്ന ഗവേഷണ വികസനപ്രവര്‍ത്തനങ്ങള്‍ എന്തെല്ലാമാണെന്നും ഏതെല്ലാം
പ്രവര്‍ത്തനമേഖലകള്‍ക്കാണ് ഊന്നല്‍ നല്‍കേണ്ടത് എന്നും
അറിയേണ്ടതായിട്ടുണ്ട്.
