Oops! The sentence "Its work started long ago, may be about 15 years ago." Should have been "Its work started long ago, may be about 25 years ago."

This is the famous Mysore University encyclopedia. 13 volumes have come out so far. Its work started long ago, may be about 15 years ago. 13th volume came out about 2 years ago. 14th volume is expected. Since the release of volumes took so much time gap, there are every few people who have all the volumes. I have read some portions of it. Especially, the section on computer. Very well written. G T Naraya Rao is a good Kannada scince writer. His specialty is astronomy.
Recently Mysore University, in collaboration with a private company and Kannada Ganaka Parishat are bringing out the encyclopedia in CDs. But the sad part is that they are not using Unicode and hence the CDs are already obsolete.

There is one more interesting article regarding a very complete encyclopedia in Kannada, one of the first among vernacular languages. Here is the link to the article : http://www.prajavani.net/may152005/155322005515.php
Does anyone know which encyclopedia does this article refer to?
Rohith.
