Hi,
Tamil Development and Information Department of Government of Tamil Nadu has issued a Government Order (Number: 105, Date: 01. 07. 2016) to Tamil University, Thanjavur and all other government departments and institutions to release all their publications, archives and collections under Creative Commons by Share-Alike license.
This Government Order has got the approval from the TN Government's Legal Department and issued by the order of Governor of Tamil Nadu. The order can be seen here https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GoTN_Tamil_Development_Departments_order_on_creative_commons_cc_by_sa.pdf. We have asked for a copy of this order in English.
This order comes as part of the public policy initiatives undertaken through the collaboration between Global Tamil Wikimedia Community and Tamil Virtual Academy https://ta.wikipedia.org/s/4o7x (TVA).
The community recognizes this as a significant milestone in spreading free knowledge for the benefit of Tamils. We also hope that this sets a good precedent for all government institutions across the country. We thank the Government of Tamil Nadu, former director of TVA Mr. T. Udhayachandran I. A. S., and Assistant Director of TVA Mr. Thamizhpparithi Maari who played a key role in getting this order issued.

Excellent news Ravi. Do keep us informed as to when the English notification comes out so it will serve as a role model for other languages as well. Kudos to the TVA and Thamizhpparithi sir for this.
