make PDF, ePub and a responsive web site of the contents of its handbook<br>
about hundreds of welfare/assistance schemes meant for the population. The<br>
book was released yesterday by Pinarayi Vijayan, chief minister of Kerala<br>
when his administration turned two years. The government further went ahead<br>
to release the content and the digital formats under the terms of Creative<br>
Commons license which might be the first of its kind by a government in<br>
India.<br>
<br>
Along with the government, Sayahna too hosted the content which can be<br>
accessed at<br>
<br>
  <a href="http://welfare.sayahna.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://welfare.sayahna.org</a><br>

<br>
While it'll be dutch to my non-Malayalam speaking friends, it might be<br>
interesting for them if they visited<br>

<br>
If you live in Kerala, kindly share the links so that it reaches the<br>
maximum number of people to enable them to avail the many<br>
benefits/assistance offered by the government.<br>
