Website Watch -- Indus Scitech
I had come across this interesting website a couple of years or so ago. I stumbled onto it again today while I was clearing my favourites folder. It is an interesting site that attempts to open Indian science and technology to the outside world. The site is run by Prof M.A.Pai, who teaches computer science and electrical engineering at Urbana-Champaign. Worth a bookmark if you're interested in the subject.
The investments made in Science and Technology infrastructure since 1947 are now making an impact on the Indian scene. Consequently the transition to a market economy has been very smooth. The emergence of India as an IT global hub, quick adaptation to the emerging area of Biotechnology, use of IT in the Banking and Communication sectors, advances in Space technology are just a few examples.
The web site contains 14 Channels which are updated frequently. Current News & Agriculture news are updated on a daily basis. A new channel devoted to Information and Communication technologies for development (ICT4D) will be included.
