[Arul Selvan]

The implementation of e-Governance is set to gain momentum in Karnataka 
as the State Government has standardised the Kannada software for 
administration. "With the standardisation of the key board and 
development of the Version 3.0 of Nudi, the Kannada software, by the 
Department of IT in collaboration with the National Informatics Centre 
and the Kannada Development Authority, we have almost completed nearly 
50 per cent of the tasks set out in the action plan on usage of Kannada 
in computerised administration," Mr Reddy, Director, Department of 
Information Technology, Government of Karnataka said. The onus would now 
be on popularising the software in various State Government departments, 
he added.
