It is rightly believed that, unless the information and communication technologies (ICTs) are made available in local languages, the ongoing information and communication technology (ICT) revolution will remain incomplete and its benefits will reach only a small section of society who have access to the English language. The scenario is, however, undergoing a fast change.Efforts are being continuously made, some with remarkable successes, in making information and communication technologies (ICTs) available in local languages, often called regional languages in India, thus taking the long-overdue benefits of ICTs to the common man.
