Portals on the brain
Posted on June 15, 2008 | Filed Under IWP, Conf, Wkshop, Training, News, Software
Several Knowledge Portals are springing up in different domains. It is interesting to see these. Here is information about some:
1.) The Water Portal was invited to a brainstorming meeting for a AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy,Unani, Siddha, Homoepathy) Portal. The effort is being lead by FRLHT (www.frlht.org) and C-DAC, Pune. The brainstorming was very lively with much input from different particapants — government, NGO, industry, research. All good wishes to them. Photo above is from that session.
2.) National Knowledge Commission had a discussion of the Knowledge Portals that they have been trying to push. The attendees included ourselves, Center for Science and Environment which will be launching the Environment Portal www.indiaenvironmentportal.org, soon, ATREE which is working on a biodiversity Portal, Azim Premji Foundation which is working on a Teacher Training Portal, Apollo Hospitals on a Health Portal, and representatives from FICCI and Entrepreneurship Development Institute which are also involved in Portal efforts. Much animated discussion there too.
3.) In July, www.indg.in, India Development Gateway will be launched at a function in New Delhi by the President. Our best wishes to them ! and the Water Portal is planning to have a booth there.
