Dear Sir/Madam,

As you must be aware, Internationalised Domain Names in Indian languages will soon be made available.  You will be, therefore, able to type a URL in an Indian language of your choice.  

The Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), under the aegis of the Ministry of Communications & Information Technology has been involved over the past few years in this initiative.   The main aim has been to evolve a policy for allotting IDNs in the major Indian language/scripts, thereby empowering the user to register the URL in the Indian language of his choice.

Given the complexity of Indian writing systems, safeguards will be of primary importance to ensure that the common man is secure as far as possible from pharming and spoofing attacks.

To create awareness among Registrars, Sub-Registrars, Industry partners and other major players, C-DAC and DIT are jointly organising a workshop targeting specifically Kannada Language  to be held in Bangalore on 28th  November, 2011.   A detailed programme of the same will be available on our site for your ready reference.  The details of the workshop are as under:

VENUE:   The Capitol Hotel, No.3,
                  Raj Bhavan Road, Bangalore-560 001.

TIMING :  1000 hrs to 1500 hrs
