Did these centeres solve the problems of Localisation of Languages in INDIA ? What was the General Direction given to these centeres when money was FUNDED to these centeres ?
Does the DIT has any signed documents o these FOURTEEN Centeres ? If YES, Can we have a copy of that please.
I hope I get reply for my questions about RCILTS.
Thanks

Localization of Languages is a MUST for EFFECTIVE Implementation of eGovernance, RTI Act and all other Acts of INDIA.
Main objective of use of Information and Communication Technology in e-Government activities is to bring the information and services more effectively to the citizens with the final objective of improving their standard of living. In order to provide information that could be useful to the citizens, information should be provided in languages that could be best understood by them. Therefore use of local languages in all the e-Government projects is fundamental for those projects to be successful.
How many OFFICIAL Languages we have in INDIA ?
There are 18 to 20 official language.
For effective implementation of eGovernance of INDIA, RTI Act 2005 and other Acts, INDIA need to promote LOCALIZATION of LANGUAGES if it wants to be properly implemented in INDIA.
Only 5 % in INDIA speak English. Only 30 to 40 % in INDIA knows Hindi.
85 % to 90 % of people speak there own STATE LANGAUGE. We need to CATER to these people. This should happen in INDIA. GOI needs to think about this for it’sfuture. Real RTI Actvists who are in the field knows about this probelms.
Right to Info Act hits language barrier
http://dnaindia.com/report.asp?NewsID=9593
Minister Dayanidhi Maran Says Only FIVE percent speak ENGLISH in INDIA. SO 95% of population needs to know RTI rules and regulations in different Languages of INDIA.
‘Connectivity, computers, content rule broadband’

“If we are to boost the broadband penetration in the country we need content in English as well as in all other regional languages. After all only five per cent people speak English,” Dayanidhi Maran said.
According to Information Technology Secretary Brijesh Kumar, “In order to push PC penetration beyond the urbane limits, there is a strong need to make the applications and content available to users in their native language. From December, users will have an option to use the computer not just in English but also in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, especially since the software will come free of cost.”
http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/181_1546385,0002.htm
According to Kumar, the key drivers that will drive exponential growth for this market will be the newer areas of application for local language IT, broad based e-governance initiatives that will employ local language as a front end to disseminate government services to citizens. “Bundling of multi-lingual software with PCs and other access devices will prove to be a catalyst in promoting PC usage in the country as it did in countries like China,” he added.
Zenith Computers CEO Raj Saraf, “Given that only three per cent of the Indian population can speak in English while close to 40 per cent of the Indian population speaks Hindi or one of its variants, language tools are the only way sales can break the present saturation point.”

=========================================
Dear all Directors of RCILTS and all responsible persons at DIT and others concerned in GOI,
We know that there are lots of SCAMS and SCANDALS in GOI.
IS there a RCILTS SCAM too ?
I am V. M. Kumaraswamy MBA, is in business since 1971. Founder and Moderator of India’s largest e-governance yahoo-group under the title eGovINDIA. You can reach this group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eGovINDIA
India WhistleBlower Act: The Action Group
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/INDIA_WBA
INDIA RTI is a Right to Information in INDIA discussion group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/INDIARTI
Exclusive Discussion Group on Judicial and Legal Reforms in INDIA. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JUDICIALREFORMS
eGovINDIA is a group dedicated to promoting true e-governance in India, consisting of members from all walks of life from within INDIA and the World over. Many State Ministers and senior bureaucrats of India are members of this group. We do have lawyers, social activists, freelance writers and journalists in the group. The group is meant for serious activists only. Casual members are not allowed to join the group. The group is also moderated by an Indian Administrative Service (IAS) Officer. As on date, the group has nearly 2600 members.
The focus of this group is true e-governance and use of open source technology in e-governance. The members of this forum have a passion to see a truly e-governed India, resulting in transparency and easy access to government services by the common man, notably the depressed class people (so called untouchables), women and people living in far flung and difficult areas of India.
Corruption is a stark reality in India. The recent reports put India in the worst category in corruption index. For the group members, e-governance means less corruption too.
The least we expect out of e-governance is transparency.
Allong with Corruption we are all worried about SCANDALS and SCAMS in INDIA.
IS THERE CORRUPTION or MISMANAGEMENT of FUNDS INVOLVED IN RCILTS ? Is that the reason why you all not answering for email enquiries?
DARPG guidelines:
E-mail is an efficient and timely communication tool used to carry out departmental activities and to conduct business within the Government of India, with business partners and with citizens. E-mail has become an important component of any office automation system. It expedites exchange of information, speeds up the decision making process and reduces paperwork, resulting in increased productivity, reduced costs and better delivery of services and programmes.

Does all the 14 RCILTS have appointed PIO as per Right to Information Act ? We would like to get that infoemation too.
