ರಾಜ್ಯ ವಾರ್ತೆ – ತುಮಕೂರು  
ಕನ್ನಡಕ್ಕೆ ಅನ್ವಯಿಕ  ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ಅಗತ್ಯ
[Kannada Software - VASU June 2009.pdf (application/pdf) 409.00K]
ಕನ್ನಡ ಪ್ರಭ ವಾರ್ತೆ , ತುಮಕೂರು , ಜೂನ್ ೧೫ ೨೦೦೯,
 
ಕನ್ನಡ ಭಾಷಾ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಬಹುತೇಕ ತಾಂತ್ರಿಕ (ಸಾಫ್ಟ್ ವೇರ್ ಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ) ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಗಳು ಬಗೆಹರಿದಿವೆ. ಆದರೆ ಇಂಗ್ಲಿಷ್ ಭಾಷಾ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ರುವಂತೆ  ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲೂ ವಿವಿದ ರೀತಿಯ ಅನ್ವಯಿಕ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ (ಅಪ್ಲಿಕೇಶನ್) ಗಳನ್ನೂ ರೂಪಿಸಬೇಕಾದ ಅಗತ್ಯವಿದೆ ಎಂದು ಉಚಿತ ಕನ್ನಡ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ಬರಹದ ರೂವಾರಿ ಅಮೇರಿಕಾದ ಶೇಷಾದ್ರಿ ವಾಸು ಚಂದ್ರಶೇಖರನ್ ಅಭಿಪ್ರಾಯಪಟ್ಟರು.
 
ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಇಂದು ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶಗಳು ಲಭ್ಯವಿವೆ. ಅವಲ್ಲೆವೂ ಇ-ಮೇಲ್ ಮಾಡಲು, ದಾಖಲಾತಿ ಸಂಗ್ರಹ ಇತ್ಯಾದಿಗಸ್ಟೇ  ಸೀಮಿತವಾಗಿದೆ. ಆದರೆ ಅಸ್ಟೇ ಸಾಲದು. ವಿವಿದ ವಿಷಯಗಳಿಗೆ ಸಂಭದಿಸಿದಂತೆ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಮಾಹಿತಿಯೂ ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಲಭ್ಯವಾಗುವಂತಾಗಬೇಕು. ಅದಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಅನ್ವಯಿಕ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ಗಳು ರೂಪುಗೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕು ಎಂದು ಸಲಹೆ ನೀಡಿದರು.
 
ಲಾಭಕ್ಕ ಅಲ್ಲ, ಖುಷಿಗೆ : ಅಮೆರಿಕಾದಂಥಹ ದೇಶದಲ್ಲಿ ಕುಳಿತು ಬರಹ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶವನ್ನು ರೂಪಿಸಿದ್ದು ಯಾವುದೇ ಲಾಭದ ಉದ್ದೇಶ ದಿಂದಲ್ಲ. ಕೇವಲ ಸ್ವಂತ ಬಳಕೆಯ ಖುಷಿಯಿಂದ ಎಂದ ಅವರು , ಬರಹ ರೂಪು ಗೊಂಡಾಗ ಖುಷಿಯಾಯಿತು. ಅದು ಹಲವರ ಗಮನಕ್ಕೆ ಬಂದಾಗ ಅನೇಕ ಗೆಳೆಯರು ಸಿಕ್ಕಿದರು. ಅಲ್ಲದೆ ಬಿಡುವಿನ ವೇಳೆಯನ್ನು ಸದ್ವಿನಿಯೋಗಪಡಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲು ಬರಹ ಸಂಶೋದನೆ ನೆರವಾಯಿತು. ಅದೇ ಬಹುದೊಡ್ಡ ಖುಷಿ ಸಂಗತಿಯಾಯಿತು.
 
ಜೀವನೋಪಾಯಕ್ಕೆ ಒಂದು ಉದ್ಯೋಗವಿದೆ. ಆದರೆ ಹವ್ಯಾಸವಾಗಿ ನಡೆಸಿದ ಪ್ರಯೋಗ ಬರಹ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶದ ರೂಪ ಪಡೆಯಿತು. ಆ ಪ್ರಯೋಗ ಯಶಸ್ವಿಯಾದ್ದರಿಂದ ಅದನ್ನು ಉಚಿತವಾಗಿ ಜನಬಳಕೆಗೆ ಇಂಟರ್ ನೆಟ್ ನಳ್ಳಿ ಮುಕ್ತ ಅವಕಾಶ ನೀಡಲಾಯಿತು,
 
THIS SHOWS THE VASU’s INTELECTUAL CAPACITY.
DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING TILL JUNE 2009. ?
VASU STOLE IPR in 1997 and VASU gave PRESS STAEMENTS in 2004.
VASU wrote email to Akruthi Fonts owner Mr. Anand in July 2004 that he copied GLYPHS from AKRUTHI Fonts when he released BARAHA 1.0. 
Without BARAHA 1.0, VASU could not have developed further releases of BARAHA Fonts.

ವಾಸು ಕದ್ದು ಬರಹ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದು ೧೯೯೭ ರಲ್ಲಿ.
ವಾಸು ನಾನು ಕದ್ದು ಮಾಡಿದ ಬರಹ ಎಂದು  ಇಮೇಲ್ ಬರೆದಿದ್ದು  ಜುಲೈ ೨೦೦೪ ನಲ್ಲಿ.  [ಇ -ಮೇಲ್ ಕಾಪಿ ಇದೆ ಓದಿ ನೋಡಿ]
 
ವಾಸು ಜೂನ್ ೨೦೦೯ ನಲ್ಲಿ ಬಂದು ಕನ್ನಡ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ದಲ್ಲಿ ಇನ್ನು ಬೆಳವಣಿಗೆ ಆಗಬೇಕೆಂದು. ಕನ್ನಡಕ್ಕೆ ಅನ್ವಯಿಕ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ಅಗತ್ಯ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದ್ದಾನೆ.
 
ವಾಸುಗೆ ೧೯೯೭ ನಲ್ಲಿ ಕದ್ದು  ಬರಹ ಮಾಡಿದಾಗ, ಕನ್ನಡಕ್ಕೆ ಅನ್ವಯಿಕ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ಅಗತ್ಯ ಎಂದು ಗೊತ್ತಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ ಎಂದು ಗೊತ್ತಾಗುತ್ತೆ.
ವಾಸುಗೆ ಜುಲೈ ೨೦೦೪ ನಲ್ಲಿ ಇಮೇಲ್ ಬರೆದಗಾನು ಕನ್ನಡಕ್ಕೆ ಅನ್ವಯಿಕ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ಅಗತ್ಯ ಎಂದು ಗೊತ್ತಿರಿಲಿಲ್ಲ ಎಂದು ಗೊತ್ತಾಗುತ್ತೆ.
 
ವಾಸು ೨೦೦೪ ನಲ್ಲಿ ಪತ್ರಿಕೆ ಯವರಿಗೆ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿನಲ್ಲಿ , ಮಾತಾಡಿದ್ದ. ವಾಸು ೨೦೦೪ ನಲ್ಲಿ ಕನ್ನಡಕ್ಕೆ ಅನ್ವಯಿಕ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ಅಗತ್ಯ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಯಾಕೆ ? ವಾಸುಗೆ ಗೊತ್ತಿದ್ದರೆ ತಾನೇ ಹೇಳುವುದಕ್ಕೆ?
ಶೇಷಾದ್ರಿ ವಾಸು , ಜೂನ್ ೨೦೦೯ ನಲ್ಲಿ , ಅಮೆರಿಕ ಇಂದ ಬಂದು, ತುಮಕೂರು ನಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಿದ್ದು ಓದಿ ನೋಡಿದರೆ ಗೊತ್ತಾಗುತ್ತೆ, ವಾಸು ಎಷ್ಟು ಸುಳ್ಳು ಹೇಳಿದ್ದಾನೆ ಅಂತ.  ವಾಸುಗೆ ೧೯೯೭ ನಲ್ಲಿ ಮತ್ತು ೨೦೦೪ ನಲ್ಲಿ , ಕನ್ನಡ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಏನು ಏನು ಆಗಬೇಕೆಂದು ಗೊತ್ತಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ ಎಂದು ಗೊತ್ತಾಗುತ್ತೆ.

 When I started developing a Kannada software, I had no knowledge of fonts at all. I experimented a lot with various Kannada fonts available in the Internet, including Akruti. This research helped me to understand the

I honestly admit that I have used the glyphs from one of the Akruti fonts in Baraha 1.0, and I was not very serious to mention about it.
When I released Baraha 1.0, I didn’t know it will become popular and used by many people. It was only an experiment which I wanted to share with my family and friends.

>
> Through this mail I would like to express my grattitude to various other

My acknowldgements to Akruti software for providing the glyphs which were used in the intial releases of Baraha.
I apologise for this delayed acknowledgement.

೨೦೦೪ ರಲ್ಲಿ ತೇಜಸ್ವಿ, ಈಕವಿ, ಕಂಬಾರ, ಹಳೆಮನೆ ಮತ್ತು ಇತರರು, ೨೦೦೪ ರಲ್ಲಿ ಇವರೆಲ್ಲರೂ ಸೇರಿ, ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರಕಾರಕ್ಕೆ,
 ಕನ್ನಡಕ್ಕೆ ಅನ್ವಯಿಕ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ಅಗತ್ಯ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದ್ದರು
 
ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರ್ಕಾರದಲ್ಲಿ ಕನ್ನಡಕ್ಕೆ ದಕ್ಕೆ ತಂದಿರುವರು ಕನ್ನಡ ಗಣಕ ಪರಿಷತ್.
ಕನ್ನಡ ಗಣಕ ಪರಿಷತ್ ಗೆ ಕನ್ನಡ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ಮಾಡುವ ವಿದಾನವೇ ಗೊತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ ಮತ್ತು ಗೊತ್ತಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ.
ಕನ್ನಡ ಗಣಕ ಪರಿಷತ್, ನುಡಿ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ಕದ್ದು ಮಾಡುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಕಾರಣ ಬರಹ ವಾಸು.
 

ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರ್ಕಾರದಲ್ಲಿ ತಂತ್ರಜ್ಞಾನದಲ್ಲಿ ಕನ್ನಡ ಭಾಷೆ ಬೆಳೆಯುತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ. ಯಾಕೆ ಅಂದರೆ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರಕಾರವನ್ನು ಕನ್ನಡ ಗಣಕ ಪರಿಷತ್ ತಪ್ಪು ದಾರಿಗೆ ಎಳೆದಿದ್ದಾರೆ.  ಕಗಪ ಬರಹ ಫಾಂಟ್ಸ್ ಕದ್ದು ಮಾಡಿರುವ ನುಡಿ ಫಾಂಟ್ಸ್ ಅನ್ನು ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರಕಾರಕ್ಕೆ ಮಾರಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಇದೆಕ್ಕೆಲ್ಲ ಆದಾರ ಇದೆ.
 
ನುಡಿ ಕನ್ನಡ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶದಲ್ಲಿ ಬಳಸಿರುವ ಅಕ್ಷರ (ಫಾಂಟ್) ವನ್ನು ಆಕೃತಿ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶದಿಂದ ಕದ್ದದ್ದು ಎಂದು ಯಾರೋ ಆರೋಪ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದರೆ ನಾವು ಅಷ್ಟು ತಲೆಕೆಡಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕಾಗಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ ಆದರೆ ಈ ಆರೋಪ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿರುವವರು ಸ್ವತಃ ಕನ್ನಡ ಗಣಕ ಪರಿಷತ್ತಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಇದ್ದವರು. 
 
ಒಬ್ಬರು ಕನ್ನಡ ಗಣಕ ಪರಿಷತ್ತಿನ ಡಾ. ಯು. ಬಿ. ಪವನಜ ಹಾಗು ಇನ್ನೊಬ್ಬರು ಪರಿಷತ್ತಿನ  ಸಂಸ್ಥಾಪಕ ಕಾರ್ಯದರ್ಶಿ ಸತ್ಯನಾರಾಯಣ. ಇವರುಗಳು ನಮಗೆ ಬರೆದ ಮೇಲ್ ಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ತಿಳಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ. 
 
ಅಷ್ಟೇ ಅಲ್ಲ, ಸ್ವತಃ ಆಕೃತಿ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶದ ಮಾಲಿಕರಾದ ಆನಂದ್ ಸಹ ಶೇಶಾದ್ರಿ ವಾಸುರವರ ಬರಹದ ಮೊದಲ ಆವೃತ್ತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಆಕೃತಿ ಫಾಂಟ್ ಕದ್ದು ಉಪಯೋಗಿಸಿದ್ದರು, ನಂತರ ಬರಹ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶದಿಂದ ಕನ್ನಡ ಗಣಕ ಪರಿಷತ್ತಿನವರು ಫಾಂಟ್ ಕದ್ದು ನುಡಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಉಪಯೋಗಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ ಎಂದು ಆರೋಪಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರಿಂದ ಕನ್ನಡಕ್ಕೆ ಅನ್ಯಾಯ.

ಕನ್ನಡ ಭಾಷೆಯ ಬೆಳವಣಿಗೆಗೆ ದೊಡ್ಡ ಕೊಡಲಿ ಪೆಟ್ಟು ಆಗಿರೋದು ಶೇಷಾದ್ರಿವಾಸು ಇಂದ. ಯಾಕೆಂದರೆ, ವಾಸು ಆಕೃತಿ ಫಾಂಟ್ಸ್ ೧೯೯೭ ನಲ್ಲಿ  ಕದ್ದು  ಬರಹ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದಾನೆ. ಇದನ್ನು ವಾಸುನೆ ಜುಲೈ ೨೦೦೪ ರಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದು ಈಮೇಲ್ ಬರೆದು ತಿಳಿಸಿದ್ದಾನೆ. ಬರಹ ಕದ್ದು ಮಾಡಿದ್ದು ಅಂಥ ವಾಸುನೆ ಒಪ್ಪಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದಾನೆ. ವಾಸು ಕದ್ದು ಬರಹ ೧.೦ ಮಾಡಿಲ್ಲದೆ ಹೋದರೆ, ಮುಂದಿನ ಬರಹ ೨.೦ , ೩.೦, ೪.೦, ೫.೦, ೬.೦, ೭.೦, ಮಾಡುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಆಗುತ್ತಿರಲಿಲ. ವಾಸು ಏನು ಏನು ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದನೋ ಅದೆಲ್ಲ ಕದ್ದು ಮಾಡಿದಂಗೆ ಆಗುತ್ತದೆ.
 
ಕನ್ನಡ ಗಣಕ ಪರಿಷತ್ ಶೇಷಾದ್ರಿವಾಸು ಕದ್ದು ಮಾಡಿದ ಬರಹ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶವನ್ನು ಉಪಯೋಗಿಸಿಕೊಂಡು ಕಲಿತ ಎಂಭ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶದಲ್ಲಿ ಸೇರಿಸಿ ಅಮೇಲೆ ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ನುಡಿ ಅಂಥ ಹೆಸರುಕೊಟ್ಟು ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರಕಾರಕ್ಕೆ ದುಡ್ಡು ಪಡೆದು ಮಾರಿದೆ.
ವಾಸು ಬರಹ ಕದ್ದು ಮಾಡಿ, ಕನ್ನಡ ಗಣಕ ಪರಿಷತ ಗೆ ಬರಹ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ವನ್ನು ಉಪಯೋಗಿಸಲು ಕೊಡದೆ ಇದಿದ್ದರೆ , ಕಲಿತ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ವನ್ನು ಮಾಡಲು ಕನ್ನಡ ಗಣಕ ಪರಿಷತ್ ಗೆ ಆಗುತ್ತಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ ಮತ್ತು  ನುಡಿ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶನು ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರಕಾರಕ್ಕೆ ಮಾರುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಆಗುತ್ತಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ.
 
ನುಡಿ ಮತ್ತು ಬರಹ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ಬರುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಮೊದಲು ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಕಚೇರಿಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಕನ್ನಡ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ವನ್ನು ಉಪಯೋಗಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದರು. ೨೪ ಕನ್ನಡ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ತಯಾರಿಕರು ಇದ್ದರು. ಈಗ ಎಸ್ಟು ಇದ್ದರೆ ಅಂಥ ಲೆಕ್ಕ ಹಾಕಬೇಕು?
ನುಡಿ ಮತ್ತು ಬರಹ ಕನ್ನಡ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ಬರುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಮೊದಲು, ಒಬ್ಬ ಕನ್ನಡ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ತಯಾರಿಕರು ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರ್ಕಾರಕ್ಕೆ , ಅವರ ಕನ್ನಡ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ವನ್ನು , ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಕಚೇರಿಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಉಚಿತ ವಾಗಿ ಉಪಯೋಗಿಸಬಹುದು ಎಂದು ೧೯೯೭ ನಲ್ಲಿ ಪತ್ರ ಬರೆದಿದ್ದರು. ಈ ಕನ್ನಡ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ವನ್ನು ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರ್ಕಾರದಲ್ಲಿ ಆಗಲೇ ಕಚೇರಿಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಉಪಯೋಗಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದರು.
 
ಕನ್ನಡ ಗಣಕ ಪರಿಷತ್ ಒಂದು ಹವ್ಯಾಸಿ ಸಂಸ್ಥೆ ಅಂಥ ತೇಜಸ್ವಿ ಯವರೇ ಹೇಳಿದ್ದಾರೆ.
 
ಕನ್ನಡ ಗಣಕ ಪರಿಷತ್ ಗೆ ನುಡಿ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ಮಾಡಲು ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ೩೫ ಲಕ್ಷ  ರೂಪಾಯಿಗಳನ್ನು ಮಂಜೂರು ಮಾಡಿದ್ದರು. ಈ ದುಡ್ಡು ಯಾರು ಯಾರಿಗೆ ಹೋಗಿದೆ ಅಂಥ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಯಾಕೆ ಹೇಳುತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ. ಇದರಲ್ಲಿ ಗುಟ್ಟು ಏನು ? ಕನ್ನಡ ಗಣಕ ಪರಿಷತ್ ನವರಿಗೆ ಈ ದುಡ್ಡು ಎನ್ ಆಗಿದೆ ಅಂಥ ಗೊತ್ತು. ಕನ್ನಡ ಗಣಕ ಪರಿಷತ್ ಯಾಕೆ ಏನು ಹೇಳುತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ?
ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರಕಾರ ದಿಂದ ದುಡ್ಡು ತೆಗೆದು ಕೊಂಡ, ಕನ್ನಡ ಗಣಕ ಪರಿಷತ್ ಯಾಕೆ ನಾವು ಕನ್ನಡಕ್ಕೆ ಉಚಿತ ಸೇವೆ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇವೆ ಅಂಥ ಸುಳ್ಳು ಹೇಳಿಕೊಂಡು ಓಡಾಡಬೇಕು?
 
ಕನ್ನಡ ಗಣಕ ಪರಿಷತ್ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ವನ್ನು ತಪ್ಪು ದಾರಿ ಗೆ ಹೇಳೆದಿದ್ದಾರೆ ಮತ್ತು ಕನ್ನಡ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ವನ್ನು ನಾವೇ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದೇವೆ ಅಂಥ ಸುಳ್ಳು ಹೇಳಿಕೊಂಡು ತಿರುಗಾಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ.
ಕನ್ನಡ ಗಣಕ ಪರಿಷತ್ ಗೆ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ಅಂದರೆ ಏನು ಅಂಥ ನು ಗೊತ್ತಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ ಮತ್ತು ಎಲ್ಲರ ಕಣ್ಣಿಗೆ ಮಣ್ಣು ಎರಚಿದ್ದಾರೆ.
ಕನ್ನಡ ಗಣಕ ಪರಿಷತ್ ಗೆ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ದುಡ್ಡು ಕೊಟ್ಟು  ಹೊಸ ಕನ್ನಡ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ಮಾಡಿ ಅಂಥ ಹೇಳಿದ್ದು. ಈಗ ಕನ್ನಡ ಗಣಕ ಪರಿಷತ್ ಕದ್ದು ಮಾಡಿರುವ ನುಡಿ ಕನ್ನಡ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ವನ್ನು ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರಕಾರಕ್ಕೆ ಕೊಟ್ಟಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಕನ್ನಡ ಗಣಕ ಪರಿಷತ್ ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರಿಗೆ ಮತ್ತು ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರ್ಕಾರಕ್ಕೆ ಮೋಸ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಕನ್ನಡ ಗಣಕ ಪರಿಷತ್ ಅನ್ನು ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ದವರು ದೂರ ಇಡಬೇಕು.
ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರ್ಕಾರ, ನುಡಿ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ವನ್ನು ಎಲ್ಲ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಕಚೇರಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕಡ್ಡಾಯವಾಗಿ ಉಪಯೋಗಿಸಬೇಕೆಂದು ಪತ್ರ ಬರೆದಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಬೇರೆ ಕನ್ನಡ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ತಯಾರಿಕರಿಗೆ ಮೋಸ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ.
 
ಕನ್ನಡ ಆಡಳಿತ ಭಾಷೆ ಆಗಬೇಕಾದರೆ ಕನ್ನಡ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ಅಭಿವೃದ್ದಿ ಆಗಲೇಬೇಕು ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರಕಾರದಲ್ಲಿ.
ಕನ್ನಡವನ್ನು ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ದಾಲ್ಲಿ ಸರಿಯಾಗಿ ಅಳವಡಿ ಸದೇಹೊದರೆ, ಕನ್ನಡ ಆಡಳಿತ ಭಾಷೆ ಆಗುವುದು ಕಸ್ಟ ಆಗುತ್ತೆ. ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರ್ಕಾರದಲ್ಲಿ ಈಗ ಆಗಿರುವ ತಪ್ಪನೆಲ್ಲ ಸರಿಪಡಿಸಬೇಕು.
ಕನ್ನಡ ವನ್ನು ಸರಿಯಾಗಿ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ದಲ್ಲಿ ಅಳವಡಿಸಿದರೆ, ಜಿಲ್ಲಾ, ತಾಲೂಕು , ಹೋಬಳಿ, ಹಳ್ಳಿ  ಮತ್ತು ಎಲ್ಲ ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರು ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ ಮುಂದೆ ಬರುತ್ತಾರೆ. 
ಜಿಲ್ಲೆ, ತಾಲೂಕು, ಹೋಬಳಿ, ಮತ್ತು ಹಳ್ಳಿ ಗಳ, ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರ ಮಕ್ಕಳು ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಓದಿ ಮುಂದೆ ಬರುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಕಸ್ಟ ಆಗುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಇದನೆಲ್ಲ ನಾವು ಗಮನಿಸಬೇಕು. ಇವರೆಲ್ಲ ಬೆಂಗಳುರಿಗೆ ಕೆಲಸ ಹುಡುಕಲು ಬಂದ್ಗ ಎಸ್ಟು ಕಸ್ಟ ಪಡುತ್ತಾರೆ ಅಂಥ ನಾವೆಲ್ಲ ಗಮನಿಸಿ ಒಂದು ದಾರಿ ತೋರಿಸಬೇಕು.
 
ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ದಲ್ಲಿ, ಕನ್ನಡ ಆಡಳಿತ ದಲ್ಲಿ ಕಡ್ಡಾಯ ವಾಗ ಬೇಕಾದರೆ, ಕನ್ನಡ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ಸರಿಪಡಿಸಬೇಕು.  ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರಿಗೆ ಇದೆ ಮೊದಲನೆಯ ಕೆಲಸ.

ಈ ಆಡಳಿತ ದಲ್ಲಿ ಎಲ್ಲ ಕಡೆ, ಅಂದರೆ, ವಿಧಾನ ಸೌಧ ಇಂದ ಎಲ್ಲ ಹಳ್ಳಿ ಯವರಿಗೆ, ಕನ್ನಡ ಕಡ್ಡಾಯವಾಗಿ ಇರಬೇಕಾದರೆ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರ್ಕಾರದಲ್ಲಿ , ಕನ್ನಡ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ವನ್ನು ಸರಿ ಪಡಿಸಬೇಕು.
 
ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರು, ನಾವೆಲ್ಲ ಸೇರಿ ಇದಕ್ಕೆ ಏನು ಮಾಡಬೇಕೆಂದು ಒಂದು ದಾರಿ ನೋಡಬೇಕು.
ಚಾರಿತ್ರಿಕ ತಿರುವಿನಲ್ಲ್ಲಿ ಕನ್ನಡ ಭಾಷೆಯ ಭವಿಷ್ಯ.
ಆದುನಿಕ ಯುಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಕನ್ನಡದ ಸ್ಥಿತಿ ಗತಿಗಳನ್ನು ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರು ಗಮನಿಸಬೇಕು.
ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ತಪ್ಪು ಧೋರಣೆಗಳು.
ಕನ್ನಡ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶಕ್ಕೆ ಆಗಿರುವ ತೊಂದರೆಗಳನ್ನು ಸರಿಪಡಿಸಬೇಕು.
 
ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಏನು ಮಾಡಬೇಕು ?

ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರ್ಕಾರವು ಮೊದಲನೆಯದಾಗಿ, “ನುಡಿ” ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶವನ್ನೇ ಬಳಿಸಲೇಬೇಕು ಎಂಭ ಆದೇಶವನ್ನು ಹಿಂತೆಗೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕು.
ಕನ್ನಡ ಗಣಕ ಪರಿಷತ್ ಗೆ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಕೊಟ್ಟಿರುವ ಸ್ಥಾನ ಮಾನ ವನ್ನು ತೆಗೆದು ಹಾಕಬೇಕು.
ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರ್ಕಾರದಲ್ಲಿ ಈಗ ಆಗಿರುವ ತಪ್ಪನೆಲ್ಲ ಸರಿಪಡಿಸಬೇಕು.
ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರಕಾರವನ್ನು ಕನ್ನಡ ಗಣಕ ಪರಿಷತ್ ತಪ್ಪು ದಾರಿಗೆ ಎಳೆದಿದೆ. ಇದನ್ನು ಸರಿಪಡಿಸಬೇಕು.
“ನುಡಿ” ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ವನ್ನು ಮುಕ್ತವಾಗಿ ಉಪಯೋಗಿಸಲು “ನುಡಿ” ಸೋರ್ಸ್ ಕೋಡ್ ಅನ್ನು ಅಂತರ್ಜಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಹಾಕಿದರೆ, ಎಲ್ಲರು ಸೇರಿ ಇದನ್ನು ಅಭಿವೃದ್ದಿ ಪಡಿಸಬಹುದು. ಕನ್ನಡ ಗಣಕ ಪರಿಷತ್ “ನುಡಿ” ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ವನ್ನು ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರಕಾರಕ್ಕೆ ಮಾರಿದ್ದರು ಯಾಕೆ ಒಪ್ಪುತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ ಇದಕ್ಕೆ? ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರಕಾರ ಯಾಕೆ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ ಇದನ್ನು?
 
ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ತಾಂತ್ರಿಕ ಸಲಹಾ ಸಮಿತಿ ನೇಮಿಸಬೇಕು.

ಈ ಸಮಿತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ  ತಂತ್ರಜ್ಞಾನ ಬಲ್ಲ ಸಾಹಿತಿಗಳು, ಕಂಪ್ಯೂಟರ್ ತಜ್ಞರು, ಭಾಷಾ ತಜ್ಞರು, ಪತ್ರಿಕಾ ಸಂಪಾದಕರು, ಮುದ್ರಕರು, ಕನ್ನಡ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ತಯಾರಕರು, ವ್ಯಾಕರಣ ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಜ್ಞರು, ಪ್ರಕಾಶಕರು, ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯ ಪರಿಣಿತರು, ಪತ್ರಿಕೋಧ್ಯಮಿಗಳು, ಉಚ್ಛಾರಣಾ ತಜ್ಞರು, ಕನ್ನಡ ಪ್ರಾಧ್ಯಾಪಕರು, ಸರಕಾರದ ಅದಿಕಾರಿಗಳು, ವಿಮರ್ಶಕರು, ನಿಘಂಟು ತಜ್ಞರು, ಮಾಹಿತಿ ತಂತ್ರಜ್ಞರು ಮತ್ತು ಉದ್ದಿಮೆದಾರರು, ಇರಬೇಕು.
 

ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರು ಗಮನಿಸಬೇಕಾದ ವಿಷಯಗಳು

ಎಸ್ಟೇ ಕನ್ನಡ ವೆಬ್ ಸೈಟ್ ಮತ್ತು ಕನ್ನಡ ಬ್ಲಾಗ್ ಗಳು ಇದ್ದರೂ, ಕನ್ನಡ ಆಡಳಿತ ಭಾಷೆ ಆಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ.
“ನುಡಿ” ಕನ್ನಡ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶವನ್ನು ಜನರಿಗೆ ಉಚಿತವಾಗಿ ಕೊಟ್ಟರೂ, ಕನ್ನಡ ಆಡಳಿತ ಭಾಷೆ ಆಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ.
ಕನ್ನಡ ವೆಬ್ ಸೈಟ್ ಮತ್ತು ಕನ್ನಡ ಬ್ಲಾಗ್ ಗಳಿಂದ ಕನ್ನಡ ಭಾಷೆ ಉಳಿಯುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. 
ಕನ್ನಡ ಭಾಷೆ ಉಳಿಯುವುದು ಕಥೆ-ಕಾದಂಬರಿ ಇಂದ ಅಲ್ಲ.
ಗೂಗಲ್ ಅವರ ಸೈಟ್ ನಲ್ಲಿ ಕನ್ನಡ ಅಳವಡಿಸಿದರೂ, ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರ್ಕಾರದಲ್ಲಿ ಕನ್ನಡ ಆಡಳಿತ ಭಾಷೆ ಆಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ.
ಕನ್ನಡ ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯ.ಕಂ ಏನೇ ಬಿಡುಗಡೆ ಮಾಡಿದ್ರೂ, ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರಕಾರದಲ್ಲಿ ಕನ್ನಡ ಆಡಳಿತ ಭಾಷೆ ಆಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ.

ಕನ್ನಡ ಭಾಷೆ ಉಳಿಯಬೇಕಾದರೆ ಕನ್ನಡ ಬಳಿಕೆ ಜಾಸ್ತಿ ಯಾಗಬೇಕು. ಕನ್ನಡ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ವನ್ನು ಸರಿ ಪಡಿಸಬೇಕು.
ಕನ್ನಡ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ಬಳಕೆಯು ಕನ್ನಡ ಭಾಷೆಯನ್ನು ಉಳಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.
ನಾವೆಲ್ಲ ಸೇರಿ ಮಾಡಬೇಕಾದ ಕೆಲಸ ಕನ್ನಡ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶದ ಸರಿ ಪಡಿಸಬೇಕಾದ ಕೆಲಸ.
ಇದನ್ನು ನಾವೆಲ್ಲ ಯೋಚನೆ ಮಾಡಿ ಮಾಡಬೇಕು.
 
ಯಾವ ಪತ್ರಕರ್ತ್ತರು ಕನ್ನಡ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ದಲ್ಲಿ ಏನು ಆಗಿದೆ ಅಂಥ ಬರೆದಿದ್ದಾರೆ ?
ಯಾವ ಪತ್ರಕರ್ತ್ತರು ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರಕಾರವನ್ನು ಕನ್ನಡ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಕೇಳಿದ್ದಾರೆ ?
ಪತ್ರಕರ್ತ್ತರು, ಕನ್ನಡ ಗಣಕ ಪರಿಷತ್ ಅನ್ನು ಯಾಕೆ ಇನ್ನು ಕೇಳಿಲ್ಲ ? ನುಡಿ ಕನ್ನಡ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ?  ನುಡಿ ಕದ್ದಿದ್ದೋ ಅಲ್ವ ಅಂಥ ?
ನುಡಿ ಕನ್ನಡ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ವನ್ನು ಯಾಕೆ ಓಪನ್ ಸೋರ್ಸ್ ಹಾಕಿಲ್ಲ ಅಂಥ ಕೇಳಿದ್ದಾರ ?
ಯಾವ ಪತ್ರ ಕರ್ತ್ತರು ಕದ್ದು ಮಾಡಿದ ನುಡಿ ಕನ್ನಡ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶವನ್ನು, ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರಕಾರಕ್ಕೆ ಮಾರಿದ ಕನ್ನಡ ಗಣಕ ಪರಿಷತ್ತನ್ನು ಯಾಕೆ ಇನ್ನು ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆ ಮಾಡಿಲ್ಲ?
ಪತ್ರಕರ್ತ್ತರು, ಎಲ್ಲರೂ ಬರೆದಿರುವ ಪತ್ರಗಳನ್ನ್ಜು ಓದಿ, ಕನ್ನಡ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶಕ್ಕೆ ಏನು ತೊಂದರೆಗಳು ಆಗಿದೆ ಅಂಥ , ಎಲ್ಲ ಜನರಿಗೆ ತಿಳಿಸಿದ್ದಾರ ?

ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದಲ್ಲಿ ಕವಿಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಸಾಹಿತಿಗಳು ಕನ್ನಡ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ಕ್ಕೆ ಏನು ಏನು ತೊಂದರೆ ಆಗಿದೆ ಅಂಥ ಯಾಕೆ ನೋಡುತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ ?
ಕನ್ನಡ ಆಡಳಿತ ಭಾಷೆ ಆಗುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಏನು ತೊಂದರೆಗಳು ಇದೆ ಅಂಥ ಯಾಕೆ ನೋಡುತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ ?
ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದಲ್ಲಿ ಇರುವ ಕವಿಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಸಾಹಿತಿಗಳು ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರಕಾರವನ್ನು ಇನ್ನು ಯಾಕೆ ಕನ್ನಡ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆ ಕೇಳಿಲ್ಲ್ಲ?

BARAHA and NUDI FONTS have DESTROYED the growth of KANNADA SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT in KARNATAKA STATE.
 
EKAVI had proposed this in 2004 to GoK – in KANNADA and ENGLISH. What EKAVI had proposed in 2004 is in this email letter.  EKAVI send this to GoK to wakeup and correct the problems. This was also proposed to UNIVERSITY of MYSORE also in December 2004.  What happened ? Any things done by GoK ?? or University of Mysore ??
 
Dr. Lingadevaru Halemane knows in detail, what went on at University of Mysore in 2004 and RCILTS @ IISc in 2004 and the proposal made by EKAVI on KSD in 2004.
 
 
NOTHING has been done sofar by GoK or University of Mysore, till to date – August 1st 2009.
 
Looking at the status of the KANNADA SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT, this article KANNADAVAAGADA COMPUTER LOKA has come up now on August 1st 2009.
 
 
Now people are reading article KANNADAVAAGADA COMPUTER LOKA. [kannadavaagada computer loka.pdf (application/pdf) 395.೦೦ ಅತ್ತಚೆದ್ here] Which came in PRAJAVANI on August 1st 2009. Contributers are Dr. U. B. Pavanaja, N.A.M. Ismail. Dr. K. V. Narayana and KANNADA CULPRIT Sri. G. N. Narasimhamurthy of KAGAPA.
 
When you read the article of August 1st 2009 written by these kannadigas, it shows the problems our KANNADA BHASHE is facing. Why it is not developed properly. EKAVI is pressing this since 2004 along with Lat Sri. Tejasvi, Dr. Kambar, Sri. Lingadevaru Halemane, Sri. G. V. Venkatsubbaiah, Sri. Rajaram and others.
 
What was Dr. U. B. Pavanaja doing from July 2004 till August 1st 2009 ?? Why Dr. U. B. Pavanaja kept quiet? What is the reason ?? Does Dr. U. B. PAVANAJA has to wait so long to say that we need UNICODE for KANNADA ???
 
EKAVI and all other KANNADA SOFTWARE Developers wrote extensively on UNICODE and what needs to be done in 2004. EKAVI has copies of all of these writings.
 
 
What was Mr. N. A. M. doing from July 2004 till August 1st 2009. Mr. Ismail has spent considerable time with Late Sri. Tejasvi on Kannada Software along with Sri. Hariprasad Nadig of Sampada.net. Mr. Ismail had written an article stating that Late Sri. Tejasvi was upset with Kannada University for putting KUVEMPU FONTS in OPEN SOURCE. Why Mr. ismail did not raise all these issues. Even Mr. Ismail knew about RCILTS @ IISc. Why Mr. Ismail did not raise the issues with concerned authorities ?? Why keep quiet when knowing things about what is happenning.
 
 
Even Dr. K. V. Narayana knew more information about Kannada Software Development. Even he did not raise the issues till August 1st 2009.
 
 
Dr. Kambar knows all the details. Even Dr. Kambar has presented letters to Ministers in GoK. Some of the letters were drafted by Dr. U. B. Pavanaja also. Even KSD issues were raised in Vidhana Parishat.
 
Dr. U. B. Pavanaja knows more information on NUDI and BARAHA fonst and he has extensively written emails, articles and gave presentations in mettings on the issue of Kannada software Development. Dr. U. B. Pavanaja needs to stand for TRUTH on these issues.
 
BARAHA VASU has written an email in year 2004 saying that he stole the IPR/GLYPHS of AKRUTHI Fonts when he released BARAHA 1.0 in the year 1997. BARAHA VASU stole in 1997 and BARAHA VASU acknowledges in 2004. Whatever BARAHA VASU further has released after BARAHA 1.0, becomes a STOLEN property. If any one wants to read the email written by BARAHA VASU, I willsend it to you.
 
Dr. U. B. Pavanaja in 2004 has written several emails to me about KANNADA FONTS ISSUES and he metions these facts in those emails. Most of the KANNADIGAS have read these emails and also GoK has been appraised of this year 2004. Dr. U. B. Pavanaja says in his emails in 2004 that BARAHA VASU has stolen the IPR of AKRUTHI Fonts in the release of BARAHA 1.0 Fonts. Dr. U. B. Pavanaja writes that BARAHA VASU had called him about the read only fonts that were available on Dr. U. B Pavanaja’s KANNADA website VISHWAKANNADA.com
 
Sri. Sathyanarayana, who happened to be the sthapaka kaaryadarshi of KAGAPA and worked in KAGAPA for four to five years, has written about 2o pages in KANNADA, about how KAGAPA released KALITHA and NUDI Fonts. Here Sri. Sathyanarayana mentions the way KAGAPA did KALITHA using BARAHA Fonts and then named the same KALITHA as NUDI Fonts and sold it to Govt. of KARNATAKA in 1997.
 
AKRUTHI FONTS owner Sri. ANAND has also written to me extensively in 2004, saying what has happened in KANNADA SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT. It is Sri. Anand is the one who received the email from BARAHA VASU in July 2004 and then he forwarded to me the same email.
 
These are all facts. Not Fictions. These facts makes it clear WHO RUINED the GROWTH of KANNADA SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT – KSD in Govt. of KARNATAKA. KAGAPA has led Govt. of KARNATAKA in wrong directions in KSD.

EKAVI had proposed this in 2004
 
A PROPOSAL TO SETUP
DEPARTMENT OF KANNADA LANGUAGE TECHNOLOGY AND SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT “DKLTSD”
Preamble
“Mahiti”- The Millennium IT policy released by the GoK included policies towards benefiting Kannada software development. Further, under The Millennium IT policy, GoK has committed itself to promote Kannada in Information Technology and provide incentives for the development of Kannada Software.
Background
(a) A passionate bunch of entrepreneurs had for over two decades pioneered and provided the facility of using Kannada on computers, when even International software developers like Microsoft had not provided such a facility.
(b) These developers enabled publishers to avail of the latest facilities like DTP and Electronic pre-press facilities to produce quality books, periodicals and Newspapers in Kannada. 
(c) Survival was always a challenge for these developers, for they had to fight piracy, obsolescence and restricted market volumes. But they fought on with love for Kannada as their main inspiration hoping that some day when Kannada is used widely on computers their pioneering efforts would pay back.
(d) Development of a Kannada software called NUDI was funded by GoK, and it was allowed to monopolise in the Government Departments and undertakings. But, NUDI software has non-standard fonts and this software has completely destroyed competitive opportunity for other local Kannada software developers, who were working in this field for past 20 years.
(e) There were as many as twenty Companies developing Kannada software, up to the period of year 2000. But, currently only three Kannada software development companies are surviving only due to their lust towards developing technology for Kannada. This is an indicator that Kannada software development is not lucrative enough for doing business. These three organizations have also stopped any further development of Kannada software due to the loss of investment in Kannada software.
(f) Kannada software is lagging far behind when compared to other languages, such as Tamil and Hindi. Wherein the development is well ahead and on par with other western languages. In these languages lot of work has been done in the areas such as Spellcheck, Grammar check, OCR, TTS, Voice recognition, Machine translation, Localisation etc.
Introduction
There is an urgent need to safeguard the interests of Kannada on computers and furtherance of Software & Technology development for the complex requirements of Kannada. Kannada software development can’t be equated with general software development because of its cultural context.
Lack of Kannada software and technologies may force the use of English, in the context of aggressive computerization in every level of Government Administration. This is already evident from the Mahithi Sindhu, Project Shiksha, which are based on the software with English interface and no software with Kannada interface is used.
Proposal
In view of the enormous work that has to be taken up in the future for Kannada software, there is an immediate necessity to create a department to look into the aspects of developing technologies and software for Kannada. This department needs to take up the responsibility of ensuring future developments. To further the cause of Tamil on computers, various Universities in Tamilnadu has already created study unit /department/centre of excellence.
In this context, It is high time for the Govt. to cater adequate funds for this inevitable contingency so as to go ahead with the requirements to fund the Department, which will enable us to undertake and accomplish the results and showcase our developments in the field of KANNADA LANGUAGE TECHNOLOGY AND SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT.
Activity
This department will undertake research and development of technologies for Kannada and conduct academic programmes such as MA in Computational Linguistics to develop human resources in the field of software development for Kannada and computational linguistics to enable NLP applications. All the resultant research work will be announced/distributed as Open Source without any royalty.
Areas of working
The proposed department will work in the areas of Localisation, NLP applications such as Translation, Voice Recognition, OCR, Human and computer interface etc.
 
Title of the project : Localisation
Localisation of application software starts from standardization of bi-lingual fonts or character  encoding for Kannada. It has to be noted that, there is no standard for bi-lingual fonts for Kannada. Further, the localization of application software involves standardization of glossaries in Kannada and development of various tools and software to achieve localization. The process of localization involves of application software involving redesigning of user interfaces such as dialogs boxes.
1. Localisation of Windows 98
Objective : The use of MS Windows 98 is predominant and is also included in the project shiksha and hence the need for developing a software to localize MS Windows 98 is critical to imparting training to Kannada medium students.
Budget : 56 Lakhs
2. Localisation of MS Windows based applications
Objective : Similarly the application software developed for MS Windows Operating System is critical for promotion of Kannada on computers.
Budget : 53 Lakhs
3. Localisation of Help contents
Objective : All the help contents has to be translated so as to enable the Kannada users to use the computers effectively.
Budget : 22 Lakhs 
4. Localisation of Web applications
Objective : Now a days more and more Web based applications are available to meet the various needs of the society. In order to reach the masses, all these applications need to be localized.
Budget : 35 Lakhs
 
Title of the project : Multimedia Authoring
Objective : Preparation of Learning/Teaching materials for the needs of Kannada users is always a cumbersome process. An easy to use authoring software needs to be developed to address the needs of the Kannada.
Budget : 120 Lakhs
 
Title of the project : NLP – Natural Language Processing
1. Spellchecker
Objective : Spellchecker software is required for basic application software such as wordprocessors.
Budget : 25 Lakhs
2. Grammar checker
Objective : In order to improve the creative writing and correct writing of text in Kannada, Grammar checker is an indispensable one and could be achieved by developing an appropriate software for the purpose.

4. Hyphenation
Objective : For wordprocessors and page layout software, hyphenation is a critical component in formatting of text.
Budget : 9 Lakhs
5. Summarisation
Objective : Summarisation tools are evolving to extract the abstract of text.
Budget : 20 Lakhs 
6. Electronic Dictionary
Objective : Due to the agglutinative nature of writing Kannada word, a mere passive dictionary is of little help. In order to enhance the use of dictionary, an electronic dictionary is very much essential.
Budget : 22 Lakhs
7. Translation
Objective : Translation software are required for various domains such as administration, education, judicial, medical, commerce etc.
Budget : 91 Lakhs 
8. TTS
Objective : Text to speech software are in demand for various requirements such as announcements, voice synthesizers etc.
Budget :  25 Lakhs

EKAVI had proposed this in 2004 to GoK – in KANNADA and ENGLISH. What EKAVI had proposed in 2004 is in this email letter.  EKAVI send this to GoK to wakeup and correct the problems. This was also proposed to UNIVERSITY of MYSORE also in December 2004.  What happened ? Any things done by GoK ?? or University of Mysore ??
 
Dr. Lingadevaru Halemane knows in detail, what went on at University of Mysore in 2004 and RCILTS @ IISc in 2004 and the proposal made by EKAVI on KSD in 2004.
 
 
NOTHING has been done sofar by GoK or University of Mysore, till to date – August 1st 2009.
 
Looking at the status of the KANNADA SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT, this article KANNADAVAAGADA COMPUTER LOKA has come up now on August 1st 2009.
 
 
Now people are reading article KANNADAVAAGADA COMPUTER LOKA. Which came in PRAJAVANI on August 1st 2009. Contributers are Dr. U. B. Pavanaja, N.A.M. Ismail. Dr. K. V. Narayana and KANNADA CULPRIT Sri. G. N. Narasimhamurthy of KAGAPA.

 
When you read the article of August 1st 2009 written by these kannadigas, it shows the problems our KANNADA BHASHE is facing. Why it is not developed properly. EKAVI is pressing this since 2004 along with Lat Sri. Tejasvi, Dr. Kambar, Sri. Lingadevaru Halemane, Sri. G. V. Venkatsubbaiah, Sri. Rajaram and others.

 
What was Dr. U. B. Pavanaja doing from July 2004 till August 1st 2009 ?? Why Dr. U. B. Pavanaja kept quiet? What is the reason ?? Does Dr. U. B. PAVANAJA has to wait so long to say that we need UNICODE for KANNADA ???
 
 
EKAVI and all other KANNADA SOFTWARE Developers wrote extensively on UNICODE and what needs to be done in 2004. EKAVI has copies of all of these writings.
 
 
What was Mr. N. A. M. doing from July 2004 till August 1st 2009. Mr. Ismail has spent considerable time with Late Sri. Tejasvi on Kannada Software along with Sri. Hariprasad Nadig of Sampada.net. Mr. Ismail had written an article stating that Late Sri. Tejasvi was upset with Kannada University for putting KUVEMPU FONTS in OPEN SOURCE. Why Mr. ismail did not raise all these issues. Even Mr. Ismail knew about RCILTS @ IISc. Why Mr. Ismail did not raise the issues with concerned authorities ?? Why keep quiet when knowing things about what is happenning.
 
 
Even Dr. K. V. Narayana knew more information about Kannada Software Development. Even he did not raise the issues till August 1st 2009.
 
 
Dr. Kambar knows all the details. Even Dr. Kambar has presented letters to Ministers in GoK. Some of the letters were drafted by Dr. U. B. Pavanaja also. Even KSD issues were raised in Vidhana Parishat.
 
Dr. U. B. Pavanaja knows more information on NUDI and BARAHA fonst and he has extensively written emails, articles and gave presentations in mettings on the issue of Kannada software Development. Dr. U. B. Pavanaja needs to stand for TRUTH on these issues.
 
BARAHA VASU has written an email in year 2004 saying that he stole the IPR/GLYPHS of AKRUTHI Fonts when he released BARAHA 1.0 in the year 1997. BARAHA VASU stole in 1997 and BARAHA VASU acknowledges in 2004. Whatever BARAHA VASU further has released after BARAHA 1.0, becomes a STOLEN property. If any one wants to read the email written by BARAHA VASU, I willsend it to you.
 
Dr. U. B. Pavanaja in 2004 has written several emails to me about KANNADA FONTS ISSUES and he metions these facts in those emails. Most of the KANNADIGAS have read these emails and also GoK has been appraised of this year 2004. Dr. U. B. Pavanaja says in his emails in 2004 that BARAHA VASU has stolen the IPR of AKRUTHI Fonts in the release of BARAHA 1.0 Fonts. Dr. U. B. Pavanaja writes that BARAHA VASU had called him about the read only fonts that were available on Dr. U. B Pavanaja’s KANNADA website VISHWAKANNADA.com
 
Sri. Sathyanarayana, who happened to be the sthapaka kaaryadarshi of KAGAPA and worked in KAGAPA for four to five years, has written about 2o pages in KANNADA, about how KAGAPA released KALITHA and NUDI Fonts. Here Sri. Sathyanarayana mentions the way KAGAPA did KALITHA using BARAHA Fonts and then named the same KALITHA as NUDI Fonts and sold it to Govt. of KARNATAKA in 1997.
 
AKRUTHI FONTS owner Sri. ANAND has also written to me extensively in 2004, saying what has happened in KANNADA SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT. It is Sri. Anand is the one who received the email from BARAHA VASU in July 2004 and then he forwarded to me the same email.
 
These are all facts. Not Fictions. These facts makes it clear WHO RUINED the GROWTH of KANNADA SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT – KSD in Govt. of KARNATAKA. KAGAPA has led Govt. of KARNATAKA in wrong directions in KSD.
 
BARAHA and NUDI FONTS have DESTROYED the growth of KANNADA SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT in KARNATAKA STATE.

ELLA KANNADA ABHIMAANIGALA VEDIKE INTERNATIONAL – EKAVI
 
 

 
EKAVI had proposed this in 2004
 
A PROPOSAL TO SETUP
DEPARTMENT OF KANNADA LANGUAGE TECHNOLOGY AND SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT “DKLTSD”
Preamble
“Mahiti”- The Millennium IT policy released by the GoK included policies towards benefiting Kannada software development. Further, under The Millennium IT policy, GoK has committed itself to promote Kannada in Information Technology and provide incentives for the development of Kannada Software.
Background
(a) A passionate bunch of entrepreneurs had for over two decades pioneered and provided the facility of using Kannada on computers, when even International software developers like Microsoft had not provided such a facility.
(b) These developers enabled publishers to avail of the latest facilities like DTP and Electronic pre-press facilities to produce quality books, periodicals and Newspapers in Kannada. 
(c) Survival was always a challenge for these developers, for they had to fight piracy, obsolescence and restricted market volumes. But they fought on with love for Kannada as their main inspiration hoping that some day when Kannada is used widely on computers their pioneering efforts would pay back.
(d) Development of a Kannada software called NUDI was funded by GoK, and it was allowed to monopolise in the Government Departments and undertakings. But, NUDI software has non-standard fonts and this software has completely destroyed competitive opportunity for other local Kannada software developers, who were working in this field for past 20 years.
(e) There were as many as twenty Companies developing Kannada software, up to the period of year 2000. But, currently only three Kannada software development companies are surviving only due to their lust towards developing technology for Kannada. This is an indicator that Kannada software development is not lucrative enough for doing business. These three organizations have also stopped any further development of Kannada software due to the loss of investment in Kannada software.
(f) Kannada software is lagging far behind when compared to other languages, such as Tamil and Hindi. Wherein the development is well ahead and on par with other western languages. In these languages lot of work has been done in the areas such as Spellcheck, Grammar check, OCR, TTS, Voice recognition, Machine translation, Localisation etc.
Introduction
There is an urgent need to safeguard the interests of Kannada on computers and furtherance of Software & Technology development for the complex requirements of Kannada. Kannada software development can’t be equated with general software development because of its cultural context.
Lack of Kannada software and technologies may force the use of English, in the context of aggressive computerization in every level of Government Administration. This is already evident from the Mahithi Sindhu, Project Shiksha, which are based on the software with English interface and no software with Kannada interface is used.
Proposal
In view of the enormous work that has to be taken up in the future for Kannada software, there is an immediate necessity to create a department to look into the aspects of developing technologies and software for Kannada. This department needs to take up the responsibility of ensuring future developments. To further the cause of Tamil on computers, various Universities in Tamilnadu has already created study unit /department/centre of excellence.
In this context, It is high time for the Govt. to cater adequate funds for this inevitable contingency so as to go ahead with the requirements to fund the Department, which will enable us to undertake and accomplish the results and showcase our developments in the field of KANNADA LANGUAGE TECHNOLOGY AND SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT.
Activity
This department will undertake research and development of technologies for Kannada and conduct academic programmes such as MA in Computational Linguistics to develop human resources in the field of software development for Kannada and computational linguistics to enable NLP applications. All the resultant research work will be announced/distributed as Open Source without any royalty.
Areas of working
The proposed department will work in the areas of Localisation, NLP applications such as Translation, Voice Recognition, OCR, Human and computer interface etc.
 
Title of the project : Localisation
Localisation of application software starts from standardization of bi-lingual fonts or character  encoding for Kannada. It has to be noted that, there is no standard for bi-lingual fonts for Kannada. Further, the localization of application software involves standardization of glossaries in Kannada and development of various tools and software to achieve localization. The process of localization involves of application software involving redesigning of user interfaces such as dialogs boxes.
1. Localisation of Windows 98
Objective : The use of MS Windows 98 is predominant and is also included in the project shiksha and hence the need for developing a software to localize MS Windows 98 is critical to imparting training to Kannada medium students.
Budget : 56 Lakhs
2. Localisation of MS Windows based applications
Objective : Similarly the application software developed for MS Windows Operating System is critical for promotion of Kannada on computers.
Budget : 53 Lakhs
3. Localisation of Help contents
Objective : All the help contents has to be translated so as to enable the Kannada users to use the computers effectively.
Budget : 22 Lakhs 
4. Localisation of Web applications
Objective : Now a days more and more Web based applications are available to meet the various needs of the society. In order to reach the masses, all these applications need to be localized.
Budget : 35 Lakhs
 
Title of the project : Multimedia Authoring
Objective : Preparation of Learning/Teaching materials for the needs of Kannada users is always a cumbersome process. An easy to use authoring software needs to be developed to address the needs of the Kannada.
Budget : 120 Lakhs
 
Title of the project : NLP – Natural Language Processing

1. Spellchecker
Objective : Spellchecker software is required for basic application software such as wordprocessors.
Budget : 25 Lakhs
2. Grammar checker
Objective : In order to improve the creative writing and correct writing of text in Kannada, Grammar checker is an indispensable one and could be achieved by developing an appropriate software for the purpose.
Budget : 40 Lakhs
3. Thesauras
Objective : A dictionary for thesauras is essential for creative writing.
Budget : 9 Lakhs
4. Hyphenation
Objective : For wordprocessors and page layout software, hyphenation is a critical component in formatting of text.
Budget : 9 Lakhs
5. Summarisation
Objective : Summarisation tools are evolving to extract the abstract of text.
Budget : 20 Lakhs 
6. Electronic Dictionary
Objective : Due to the agglutinative nature of writing Kannada word, a mere passive dictionary is of little help. In order to enhance the use of dictionary, an electronic dictionary is very much essential.
Budget : 22 Lakhs
7. Translation
Objective : Translation software are required for various domains such as administration, education, judicial, medical, commerce etc.
Budget : 91 Lakhs 
8. TTS
Objective : Text to speech software are in demand for various requirements such as announcements, voice synthesizers etc.
Budget :  25 Lakhs
9. OCR
Objective : Character recognition software for handwriting and printed texts are the need of the hour.

Dr. U. B. Pavanja writes:
 
Making a font is an elaborate process. Artists have to draw each character (glyph) on paper, they have to be scanned, digitized, hinted, etc. It takes months for each font.
 
KGP should have the complete record of making of the fonts like original drawings by the artist, first raw digitized data, the final font, etc.
PAVANAJA was studying the glyphs of all Kannada fonts. When PAVANAJA opened Baraha, Akruti and Nudi fonts in a font editing software, PAVANAJA found that they all have the same glyph sets, even though their ASCII values are different.
 
As Sathyanarayana has detailed in his write-up, the glyphs from Akruti fonts were used in the first version of Baraha, which was then used in the first version of Nudi.

I honestly admit that I have used the glyphs from one of the Akruti fonts in Baraha 1.0, and I was not very serious to mention about it.

When I released Baraha 1.0, I didn’t know it will become popular and used by many people. It was only an experiment which I wanted to share with my family and friends.

Shri Kumarswamy,

Namaskaara,

I think largely due to your relentless efforts to ferret out the truth behind the sad state of affairs in the area of Kannada software and the domination of false icons of the so called free software like KGP Nudi and Sheshadrivasu’s Baraha, a lot of bitter truth and hidden information is coming out from various quarters, which is exposing the nasty skullduggery by which these false icons have sucked on the blood of the real workers in the Kannada software arena who have never claimed that they and they alone have done a great service to Kannada, but have been contributing silently in the background.

I am forwarding here, an admission by one such icon, the Guru of free Kannada software, who, perhaps due to the fear of getting exposed by these revelations, very belatedly realised the need for acknowledging the unabashed piracy. More than six years after his misdeed, he meekly apologises for having pirated our “Akruti” fonts. This is a charge we have also made on KGP. How many more years, do we have to wait for them to come clean?

Anyway, I hope you keep churning the murky waters of the Kannada software world for more such nuggets. I sincerely hope at the end of this great “Samudra Manthan”, finally some true gems emerge and adorn our beloved “Kannada Maate” who must be hanging her head in eternal shame at the present state of affairs. All the behind the scene workers like us should be thankful for your fearless crusade against all the wrong doers.

Hoping for a positive outcome for the sake of Kannada,

Anand S.K.

ANALYSIS:

WITHOUT BARAHA 1.0 – that is from STEALING

IPR and GLYPHS of AKRUTHI Fonts – VASU could not have done all further BARAHA releases.

Dr.U.B.Pavanaja writes- BARAHA VASU is giving WRONG INFORMATION to press and to kannadigas. Also VASU is quoting a WRONG COURT CASE to prove what has done by stealing IPR from AKRUTHI is correct.

http://ellakavi.wordpress.com/2007/11/10/drubpavanaja-writes-baraha-vasu-is-giving-wrong-information-to-press-and-to-kannadigas-also-vasu-is-quoting-a-wrong-court-case-to-prove-what-has-done-by-stealing-ipr-from-akruthi-is-correct/

BARAHA Vasu’s interview to Deccan Herald in 2004

and Dr. U. B. Pavanaja’s comments

Vasu’s interview to Deccan Herald and comments by Dr. U. B. Pavanaja

Vasu gave an interview to Deccan Herald during his visit to Bangalore in June 2004. Here are some excerpts and my comments on them:-

 

> “Then, I, along with Ganaka Parishad and the State Government worked to bring Kannada software for official use”, he (Vasu) said.

I don’t remember any of such efforts by Sheshadri Vasu. In fact Vasu was very reluctant to implement the GoK standard for font and keyboard. There was a heated argument between Dr Panditharadhya and K T Chandrashekharan, father of Vasu, in this connection. All along the time Shasthry, Narasimha Murthy and Panditharadhya were advocating that Baraha killed Kannada while Nudi saved it!   Vasu did implement the keyboard and font standards after repeated appeals by Shrinatha Shasthry and Narasimha Murthy.

> Baraha 4.0 was the first software that was implemented in Government offices with font styles.

I don’t think this statement of Sheshadri Vasu is true. There were many Kannada software being used in state govt much much before KGP, Nudi or Baraha came into existence .

> But the Ganaka Parishad and the State Government have introduced Nudi software as a benchmark system.

If Vasu were to introduce the GoK standards much earlier than the release of Kalitha (Nudi), Nudi would not have come into existence.

VASU said:  > Unfortunately for me, the government is insisting the use of Nudi software.

Why should be unfortunate to him? He is not selling Baraha.

> While Baraha has fulfilled the terms and conditions put forth by the Government, including stipulations such as keyboard and transliteration, I wonder why they are forcing departments to use only Nudi”, he said. One of Baraha’s many advantages, according to Vasu, is that it allows a person who knows Kannada to type it in English fonts. He felt preference of software (Baraha or Nudi) should be left to end user.

Why the choice should be only between Nudi and Baraha , both of them are obsolete in the current and future time where Unicode is the world standard?

Actually the choice should be between Windows XP/2003, Mac, Linux, Solaris, Java Desktop, Unix, etc. all are having Unicode compliance.

 

Meeting with Vasu in June 2004

Vasu was felicitated by Upasana in Bangalore during his visit in June 2004. I met him during that function. I discussed many things in general like Unicode features, facility needed in Baraha to convert RTF and HTML documents into Unicode, etc. Casually I asked him where from he is getting the fonts for his Baraha package. As per his answer, there is an artist in Bangalore who draws the shapes on paper and sends them to him. He (Vasu) scans, digitizes and   makes them into fonts. I did not discuss anything about the Akruti font issue.

_______________________________________________

 

PLEASE READ THESE KANNADIGAS will know what VASU saying to DECCAN HERALD in 2004 is FALSE.

VASU of BARAHA was NOT TRUTHFUL to reporters in 2004. Now also !!!

SHABDRATNA, the first Kannada Word processing Software developed in 1987 by SRG Systems. Now SRG is not in business because of NUDI and KAGAPA and BARAHA.

NUDI  Fonts has COPIED BARAHA Fonts

VASU is the CULPRIT here for KSD

SHABDRATNA, the first Kannada Word processing Software was
launched by the then Director of Karnataka Govt. Computer
Center during January 1987. This was used extensively by
almost all Offices & Depts of the Govt. of Karnataka.

SRG Systems Pvt. Ltd. (Software Research Group) is one of the
leading research and development oriented software company in
India. SRG was started in 1984 by T. S. Muthu krishnan who is a
B.Tech from IIT Madras. He has more than 35 years of experience.

S R G was the first Indian company to produce and export packaged
software to European countries like West Germany, Holland,
Belgium , East Asian countries like Singapore, Malaysia & Taiwan
and Middle East countries.

S R G, a professionally managed company, was the first to develop
packages in Indian Languages namely Kannada, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu,
Malayalam, Marathi, Gujrati & Bengali using Indigenous Knowhow
based on extensive experience in the field of Software
development.

SRG has developed several application Software Products and
Packaged Software Packages.

First developed a Word processing Software on Apple System
in USA for a Client in 1983-84.

During 1984-85 SRG had been developing application Software
for various Customers.

Subsequently developed WORDLORD on IBM PC which was later
Exported to Europe in 1985-86 and Far Eastern Countries in
1987.

SHABDRATNA, the first Kannada Word processing Software was
launched by the then Director of Karnataka Govt. Computer
Center during January 1987. This was used extensively by
almost all Offices & Depts of the Govt. of Karnataka.

Kannada DTP Software VENUS Publisher was launched in 1989.
This was used extensively by several Publishers of Kannada
books including NAL Mr. Srinatha Sastry. Govt. of Karnataka
is still using our DTP S/W for Budget presentation.

CHITRAKALA was specially developed for Door Dharshan Kendra,
Bangalore for Kannada Titling and graphics during 1990.

Several other Language Softwares were also released.

During 1993 developed DATA BASE Software Package INEX which
is a Kannada-English Business Software using which various
applications like Financial Accounting, Inventory, Payroll,
MRP, PPC etc. were released. INEX was launched by the then
Minister for Higher Education, Govt. of Karnataka.

During 1994 developed WINKEY Kannada interface for
Windows applications. This was also used extensively by most
of the Offices & Depts of the Govt. of Karnataka.

During 1999 developed KARYALAYA 2000 Multi-lingual office
suite.

During 2001 developed BANK SCRIPT Multi-lingual interface
for Data Processing Applications.

During 2003 developed SRG BROWSER Multi-lingual Internet /
Intranet Browsing Interface.

We had struggled hard to promote Kannada usage in Computers for
more than a decade without any assistance from Govt. of Karnataka
or any other body and even ignoring the more lucrative Commercial
Software development.

In fact we had spent more money for Research & development,
Training and Support for Kannada than we had earned. It was other
Language Softwares particularly Hindi & Tamil which helped us to
make some profit.

We had even provided our Kannada Software free of cost to several
Individuals including Mr. Srinatha Sastry for personal use and
thereby encouraged Kannada usage in Computers.

It is only after Kannada usage in Computers had fully spread as a
result of our promotion, suddenly some individuals found that they
can use the slogan “Kannada promotion” as a ploy to syphon out
Govt. funds which can be shared among them. They had even used
some good persons like Dr. Pavanaja for achieving their goal.

As we were already promoting Kannada without any Govt. funds and
also these individuals had no Technical or Linguistic expertise,
they had decided to use the “Back-door approach”.

First these vested interests formed a group with a catchy name
“Kannada Ganaka Parished” and entered themselves in the books of
Karnataka Govt. claiming to promote Kannada thru’ Computers.

They had implanted the idea of “Kannada Standards” in the minds of
un-suspecting Govt. Officials. They influenced the formation of
Standards committee without including the real users like Typists
or the Kannada Software Developers.

They had wasted Govt. money and time by establishing two
“Redundant Standards” for “Keyboard” which is harmful to
KANNADIGAS, as well as “Mono Lingual font” which is totally
useless as NUDI itself is using Bi-lingual font.

Thousands of POOR UNEMPLOYED KANNADIGAS spend what little money
they have on Kannada typing diploma courses and pass typing exams
using manual typewriter where the speed & accuracy are important.
By adopting a keyboard other than typewriter keyboard would defeat
the very purpose and completely destroy their future.

One can not Promote Kannada at the expense of POOR KANNADIGAS.
It is for this reason we had adopted typewriter keyboard for the
qualified Typists and at the same time provided phonetic typing
for other users.

Further we had written to D.I.T. on 30-6-2000 that most of the
Customers use Bi-lingual fonts and demanded the Standards for
Bi-lingual font. This was totally ignored by them.

After the NUDI Software was rejected by almost all Govt. Staff,
they came out with their own “Non-Standard” Bi-lingual font
thereby making the “Font Standard” as Redundant by themselves.

This was the level of intelligence at KGP.

Then they had influenced the Govt. to appoint themselves (KGP) as
the “Certifying Agency” for these “Redundant Standards” and forced
the Govt. to part with more than Rs. 2 Lakhs for this purpose.

They had also used certain Corrupt Govt. Officials to sanction
funds to the tune of Rs.27.65 lakhs for the Kannada Software
Development, which even a well established S/W Company will find
it difficult to achieve.

No standard procedure like Tender or Multiple Quotations was
followed by D.I.T. The KGP is not a Govt. body either.

KGP without any infrastructure for Software development, not even
a proper office or a Computer, was awarded such a huge Software
Contract. This also shows the level of Corruption and the
Influence they had used.

In fact we have not earned so much money during the last 17 years
of Kannada Software development.

KGP had already Certified our Software earlier. After the
“Contract” was awarded, KGP had no Idea of “How to go about”.

Hence, the second certification “Drama” was enacted jointly by
Corrupt Officials of the D.I.T. and the vested interests in KGP
with the sole aim of pirating the Kannada Software Technology of
the Software Developers.

They had asked the un-suspecting Software Developers to
demonstrate and explain the Language Technology to the “KGP team”
which included the part-time programmer who had later “developed”
NUDI.

It is humanly impossible for a part-time programmer to do Research
& development and come out with an Original Software in such a
short time. The Truth is simple common sense, obvious and glaring.

Then the “Certifying” Agency themselves “Certified” their own
“developed” Software NUDI and “sold” it to D.I.T. at a huge cost.

Obviously the vested interests in KGP would not have spent more
than Rs. 15,000/= for the part-time programmer. But they had
managed to syphon out Lakhs of Rupees of Govt. funds which was
obviously shared by these vested interests with those Corrupt
Officials of the D.I.T.

The claim of “saving money for the Govt.” is a fraud. As there is
no support or service, which the Software Developers provide, the
NUDI Software will be dumped by the user and entire money “spent”
for NUDI will go down the drain. If the Govt. wants to provide the
support or service, the cost will be enormous and will run into
crores of Rupees.

If at all the D.I.T. Officials wanted to save money for the Govt.
they should have called for Tender or Competitive Quotations
instead of accepting the “fancy prices” quoted by KGP. Or atleast
they should have approached CDAC or NCST which are Govt. bodies.

The main aim of this Corruption and Nepotism is to destroy Kannada
Software development in Karnataka. Such a rampant Corruption and
Nepotism has never happened in any other State in India.

This has totally destroyed small and medium Software Developers.
This has also resulted in the retrenchment of staff thereby
creating unemployment.

Later the half baked NUDI Software did not find any taker as almost
all Govt.Staff had rejected it. After finding that the resistance is too
strong, they had used the Hon’ble Chief Minister himself as a
“tool” to push the NUDI Software and thrust it down the throats of
the resisting Govt. Staff.

If this is called “KANNADA PROMOTION”, then I feel sorry for
KANNADA.

In addition to the above I have come across more documentary
evidences to prove the SWINDLING OF PUBLIC FUNDS by KGP with help
of D.I.T. namely :

1. Letter from Registrar of Societies about KGP.

2. Audited Financial Statements of KGP.

3. “Donation Receipt” for Selling of Govt. Property by KGP.

From the Letter from Registrar of Societies it is obvious that the
KGP is a DEFUNCT SOCIETY and is not entitled to receive any funds
from the Govt. However the KGP has already received Rs. 12,36,040
from the Govt. as of 31-3-2002. Further, they are also Selling the
Govt. Property and earning Interest from Govt. funds.

D.I.T. had stated that “The ownership of the software vests with
the Department and KGP has no right over it”. However KGP has been
selling the software CDs and had already earned Rs. 18,800 as of
31-3-2002 and still continuing to do so. This selling is being
done in a clandestine manner by calling it a “Donation”.

It is also evident from the Financial Statements of KGP that a sum
of Rs. 6.14 Lakhs, which was in excess of actual expenditure, is
being held in Bank deposits. While the Govt. is facing paucity of
funds and borrowing at high Interest, a DEFUNCT SOCIETY is holding
excess funds from the Govt. and earning Interest on Govt. funds.

Further, the Section 3 of THE KARNATAKA TRANSPARENCY IN PUBLIC
PROCUREMENT ACT 1999 exempts only the projects funded by
International Financial Agencies, which obviously means that all
other Govt. funded projects including this “DEAL” are
automatically covered by the ACT.

D.I.T’s repeated claim that KGP is a “NON PROFIT ORGANISATION”
itself amounts to cheating as Rs.27.65 Lakhs is virtually a
ransom. Even PROFIT making commercial establishments like ours can
develop for Rs.16.00 Lakhs and still make PROFIT.

The allegation of creation of Monopoly is also proved by the G.O.
Dated 27.12.2001 in which virtually all possible Kannada Softwares
are covered leaving NOTHING for other Software Developers thereby
depriving the Software Developers their right to survive and
“physically eliminating” them so that no body will be there to
question the illegal procurement of Kannada Software from the
KGP and the misuse of public fund.

While the crooks in KGP are syphoning out the Govt. Funds as
“Honourarium” to already employed / retired persons, the “Real
Promoters” of Kannada are forced to face the unemployment. This
amounts to “making the Rich Richer, the Poor Poorer”

It is highly deplorable to “monopolize” the Kannada Software
developments by encouraging the “Middle men” as KGP can not
develop any Software themselves .

As these vested interests were not really interested in promoting
Kannada, they had also indulged in playing politics by creating
Regional bias as some of the Developers including me are not
KANNADIGAS. It is in fact a good sign to note that NON-KANNADIGAS
are promoting Kannada and one should feel happy about that.

Dear Kumaraswamy
I received your letter which refers to the transaction’s between you and Anabarasan. I am afraid to note that what he had written to you seemed to be true and correct. On 25th may there was a meeting at the language institute at Mysore to discus the problems of kannada software development. The meeting was called by Prof. Lingadeveru Halemane on my insistence. Sri Pavanaja and sri Srinathasastri were also there. We discussed all the problems regarding Kannada software development from morning to evening. Most of the questions which you have raised with Anabarasan were also raised there. To our utter disappointment KGP people failed to give any satisfactory explanation. On many questions they refused to comment, telling that some related cases to that subject are pending in the court of law against KGP. I am not very much worried about the misuse of public funds by KGP, but to obtain funds these people are creating a horrible mess and confusion and software development of kannada language is being ruined is a cause of great concern to all Kannadigas. I think all of us should make a unified effort to bailout our language from this sad situation.

Purnachandra Tejasvi

Dear Muttukrishan
I read your letter written to Sri Kumaraswamy. It was forwarded by
him to me. I was shocked to know that you have under gone such a
treatment by GOk. We never new that Kgp has become such a great obstacle to the software development of Kannada Language.
As you know I am Srg’s oldest customer. I have almost all versions
of your Kannada word processors from venus2 to latest Winkey. all our
publications are in your software only. We mention your software support
in all edition of our publications. Your Winkey is one of the best
software available in kannada.
I feel sad and sorry that Kannadiga’s have failed to utilize your
expertise and talent to the development of Kannada language. I wonder
why you have not brought these things to my notice. However we have
decided to correct the Blunders committed by KGP. I expect your
cooporation and support to our efforts.

Dear Halemane

After our meeting at Mysore, sensing our dissatisfaction about the
clarification’s given to us by Ganaka Parishat, Secretary sri
Narasimhamurty and member sri Panditaradhya came to mudigere to give
some more clarifications on all the subjects discussed at Mysore.
They gave some clarifications about the funds they have received
from GOK and on the projects they have utilized these funds. As you
Know, the purpose of our meeting at Mysore was to discus the future of
Kannada Software development and not about the financial activities of
KGP. I do not know why and how they got this impression! we have not
written a single word about the financial aspects in the Mysore meeting
Agenda . I told them that I am not competent to go into these matters
and our interest is only limited to the future development of Kannada
software.

1. My first complaint against KGP is, they are preventing the collective
participation in the development of Kannada software. In fact many good
software developers who were in KGP were sent out on some flimsy
grounds. On the other hand Sri Srinathasastri and Narasimhamurty are not
technically qualified s/w people, but still they are representing GOK at
Delhi IT meetings and giving technical opinion! This did not look proper
to me.

If they had entered the open market facing the competition of other
software vendors it would have helped them a lot. Instead, they
approached the government fron the backdoor and try to push their
commodity with the help of government orders. This deprived them of the
market feedback which is a very important component for the development
of any product. This is the root cause for the present crisis.
The only way now is to make nudi an open source code. we have to
reinvite all the developers who have left the stage in despair, and
request them to develop this software on the lines of Linux Open Source
initiative.

At the discussions Sri Narasimhamurty finally agreed for this
suggestion and would join us to place this request with GOK.

2. My second complaint was about the nudi Keyboard layout.They have
adopted a layout other than typewriter keyboard layout. This has
resulted in rendering all our typist who were trained at out typing
institutes useless. SRG and some other s/w developers have retained the
typewriter layout and at the same time provided phonetic typing for
other users.

I pointed out this to Sri Narasimhamurty and explained how it is
linked with the bread earning of thousands of typists. Sri
Narasimhamurty said Parishat will be able to solve this problem by
providing option to create custom Keyboard layout. I do not know whether
we can achieve this without making fundamental changes in nudi software.

3. My third complaint was Parishats hard-line attitude towards
translation of commands in user interface. They are replacing all
english words with far more alien Sanskrit terminology’s. I have heard
these hard-liners themself use english terms only when conversing with
others. But they prescribe and are forcing others to use Sanskrit terms.
They are using this as a platform to express their Kannada love are
Kannadabhimana. Words like ‘Cut,’ paste, ’save,’ ‘file’ have already in
use in our language as Kannada words and placing them in Kannada
characters is enough. Even our renowned Lexicographer and Critic Prof.
G. Venkata Subbaiah has agreed for this suggestion.
I tried very hard to convince them but they refused to listen to my
reasoning. Their attitude looks like new incarnation of untuchablity and
castsystems of our society. I demand a more extensive debate over this
issue.
They had brought their many other works such as ‘Pampa Bharata’
‘Kannada Visva Kosha’ and other things on cd. They are really Important
contributions in the cultural context of Karnataka. They must be
appreciated and encouraged. But these things have nothing to do with
Kannada s/w development and must be undertaken on some other platforms
such as Kannada and culture Ministry and not with IT..
We could have discussed all these matters at the Mysore meeting
without any hesitation. There is nothing private or personal in these
delibarations and they are almost extenssions of our Mysore meeting. I
am sending this for your information.
With regards
K.P.Purnachandra Tejasvi
