Santhosh Thottingal has won the Maharshi Badrayan
Vyas Samman by the Hon. President of India. This is in recognition of his substantial
contribution in the field of Malayalam language. The award, instituted in 2016, is given
to the substantial contributions to languages such as Sanskrit, Persian, Arabi, Pali and
Classical Oriya, Classical Kannada, Classical Telugu, and Classical Malayalam. This is
given to young scholars in the age group of 30 to 45 years. The Presidential award carries
a certificate of honor, a memento and a one-time cash prize of Rs.1 lakh.
Santhosh is one of the most active contributors of Swathanthra Malayalam Computing and a
principal engineer in Wikipedia's language computing department. He has designed and
released several algorithms and tools that serve computing needs in many Indian languages
including Malayalam. He heads the maintenance of a dozen or so of the popular Malayalam
fonts. Santhosh (along Kavya) designed two of these fonts, Chilanka and Manjari. He has
contributed tools that serve a broad range of language computing needs - input tools,
layout tools, fonts, font rendering, text to speech, translation, localization are just a
few of these areas. He has also contributed and presented papers at several international
conferences.
Dr. Rajeev R. R from the e-governance and training department of ICFOSS has also been
selected for this award along with Santhosh.
We hope this award inspires Santhosh and Rajeev to push the boundaries of Language
computing.
