Language Computing Seminar
On
Self-reliant e-governance in Indian languages
byDr. G. Nagarjuna
Chairman, Free Software Foundation of India and Scientist at Homi Bhaba Centre for Science Education,
Tata Institute of Fundamental Research
=======================================================================
Abstract
The talk will focus on how to achieve self-reliant e-governance, and what policy changes do we have to bring in for this purpose. Keeping in mind that only about 5% of Indian population can manage with English speaking computers, the need for e-governance, by default, in a multi-lingual system is clearer than day light and no additional argument is required. Since public documents must live for eternity, the need of open standards for e-governance will be underlined. If these values of self-reliance in information technology and local language computing with open standards are to be followed in letter and spirit, then it is mandatory that Governments must legislate the use of Swatantra Software and open standards.
