    ஆ뿍ퟁ母毁ட :﯍ பꟍன 翍翁 பꟍ믁க鏍தமி폍 மி﯍ꟍ-ஆ뿍வித폍 ANJAC, SIVAKASI, TAMILNADU, INDIA மல ﯍-1, இத폍-1, சனவ쎿 2018 ROADMAP FOR COMPUTING IN TAMIL P. Tamizh Chelvi Head, Department of Computer Science, Ayya Nadar Janaki Ammal College(Autonomous), Sivakasi – 626124, Tamilnadu, India INTRODUCTION The very old Tamil language must remain vibrant and modern. This mission is possible only if efforts are taken by the Government of Tamilnadu by motivating the skilled personnel in computing through linking the domain experts of all walks of life to create all sorts of applications and other required platforms in Tamil. STANDARDISING COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT Computing with Tamil relates to the design and development of useful applications which permit interaction with the system in Tamil. The applications could be standalone applications running on different platforms or web based applications , using Tamil in machine translation, text to speech, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), data processing, deep learning and big data analytics. For many years now, text in Tamil has been displayed on the web, the multiplicity of the fonts seen have posed real problems in arriving at some uniformity in text display. This was the main theme of discussions during the Tamilnet99 conference held in Chennai during February 1999. Till date, 16 International Tamil Internet Conferences were conducted to popularise Tamil language in computing with the latest conference(2017) was held in Canada. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.Karunanidhi at TamilNet '99, the international conference on the use of Tamil in Information Technology held in Chennai in February, 1999. At the conference held in Chennai in 1999, it was proposed that the placement of glyphs within a Tamil font would follow a recommended scheme.

  • Emerging Technologies E-Governance
    Preface Dr. Santhosh Babu, I.A.S. Principal Secretary, Information Technology Department, Government of Tamil Nadu Among the many functions of any Government, evolving policies on various fronts, moving files and taking decisions in pursuance of those policies, delivering services, providing employment opportunities, enabling businesses to thrive, maintaining law and order, etc., would be the top priorities. With the large-scale use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in every aspect of governance, starting a couple of decades back, these functions have leap-frogged to hitherto unimaginable levels of efficiency in governance and concomitant citizen satisfaction. Expectations of better and better governance have also increased among our Citizens, as is evidenced by their aspirations frequently aired through the social media.
