Thanks HPN. Please add me to the list.
Though I may not be able to help them directly, I may get to understand it and probably suggest some tweaks.

Gerard,
It'll be good if someone who can read both Kannada and Devanagari scripts can do this. I'm not proficient with Kannada script. Will give it a shot if nobody else volunteers for this.
Santhosh,
Thanks for the pointers.
Sundar,
There is already a research team from Konkani Association, Mangalore working on this. I hear that Infosys has also donated some resources to work on this. I've been working closely with Konkani association, Mangalore. Much of the discussion that happened in Mangalore meetup was centered around the multiple scripts issue. I suggest that you join the initiative.
Let me know, I can add you to the loop.
