1 ABOUT OURSELVES This publication fulfils the long felt need for providing information about various schemes/programmes of Grant-In-Aid being implemented by the Central Institute of Indian Languages, Mysore. This provides brief information about the objective, purpose, eligibility and funding pattern of various Grant-In-Aid schemes of the Institute. Most of these schemes are being implemented through the individuals and NGOs. We are hopeful that this publication would be informative and useful to the individuals, NGOs, Societies and Charitable Trust who are interested in implementation of the programmes/schemes of this Institute. The Non-Governmental Organizations consistently have proved to be very effective in the propagation and development of Indian Languages. One of the benefits of implementing the schemes through NGOs is that they are able to reach the remotest areas of the Country. Moreover, the Individual Authors, Voluntary Organisations Societies and Charitable Trust have established a closer rapport with the masses thereby enjoying a great degree of credibility.

On behalf of the Ministry, the Director (L), asked for the modifications on the enhancements of allocations with justifications that will be informed to the Ministry. He also raised questions whether the printed price in the books under Bulk purchase is reasonable. He put forth the idea of making modifications in changing or evaluating the printed price.

It was suggested by the members of the house that in future the details of pending cases of the previous GIAC meeting be annexed in the list of Agenda. The committee discussed about the utilization of purchased books i.e., supply of books to libraries and there was a suggestion that a policy is required to check the utilization of the books.
