Tvm: Realising the potential of Open-Source (OS) software, the Kerala Government will set up an international centre on free and open software (OS) shortly. The State is also likely to spend about Rs 1,000 crore on various eGovernance projects over the next 12 months.

“We are tying up with universities and the industry to set up the centre.  Initially, this will be set up with government funding, but going further it will generate standalone revenue,” said Dr Rathan Kelkar, IAS, Director, Kerala State Information Technology Mission. “We are tying up with universities and the industry to set up the centre.  Initially, this will be set up with government funding, but going further it will generate standalone revenue,” said Dr Rathan Kelkar, IAS, Director, Kerala State Information Technology Mission.
