IT FOR INDIAN SOCIETY

• IT for Education
• Machine Translation of web pages into Indian Languages
• IT Tools and Techniques for Effective and Affordable Education
• IT for Effective Power Distribution and Energy Consumption

Researchers in the International Institute of Information Technology are working towards providing the Internet access in the rural areas. The content available over the web, largely in English will be automatically translated to the Indian languages. This work involves machine translation from English to Indian languages.

Providing affordable and effective education for a large number of students, in geographically distributed locations is being attempted. This has emerged as a new necessity in the networked environment. Work is done on the effective use of information technology tools for this. IT tools can also be effectively used to make primary education available in rural Indian communities in their own languages.

IT has tremendous applications in various engineering disciplines. The Institute is working on setting up research centers to address related issues in textiles, railways and entertainment technology sector. This is in addition to the established activities in building sciences and power distribution. IT is expected to help in effective power distribution and energy consumption in Indian societies. The Institute is also exploring the possibility of using the information technology for disaster prediction and management.
