BANGALORE: Cyber India Online Limited (CIOL) has launched the
CIOL Tamil edition. The new channel can be accessed at http://tamil.www.ciol.com.
This is the second local language edition that has been launched by CIOL, the
first one being Hindi.
The Tamil edition offers the widest range of information on
and about IT available on the Web. IT enthusiasts who are comfortable with Tamil
will now be able to access the latest on Information Technology — be it
technologies, industry trends, financial performances, education advices, career
opportunities, etc. on a daily basis in the Tamil edition of CIOL.
The Tamil edition is part of CIOL’s "Cyber Nation
India" initiative, which envisages building a state where it is the
fundamental right of every citizen to access the latest technologies in order to
progress towards better living standards.
"There are millions of people in the country who speak
and read Tamil and are increasingly getting exposed to the latest technologies.
Through the CIOL Tamil edition, we plan to guide them towards adopting
information technology in every possible aspect of their lives," said CIOL
president E Abraham Mathew.
"The Tamil edition of CIOL will enable us to take the
vast amount of information available on the CIOL Network to those sections of
the community who are interested in IT but not conversant in English," said
Mr. Mathew. The Tamil edition will enable a large number of people to become
aware of the dynamic trends in the world of IT.
"The English edition has already established itself as
India’s No.1 IT portal and is a very popular site amongst the IT community and
corporates. Through the Tamil edition of CIOL, we are confident that the SMEs,
students and the home segment will also benefit from the vast array of
information currently present in English on our site," said Mr. T N Prabhu,
Head- Strategic Services, CIOL.
