Introducing www.ict4d.info by CKS (fwd)

--------Forwarded---------------

The Center for Knowledge Societies (CKS) is pleased to invite you to its
pavilion, WWW.ICT4D.INFO, at the BangaloreIT.Com Trade Fair. This exhibit
inaugurates CKS' eponymous online resource, which catalogues over 120
initiatives in South Asia, which use Information and Communications
Technologies for Development.

CKS provides social research, design, planning, and strategy consulting
services for information and communications technology initiatives in rural
areas. It also innovatively uses Graphical Information Systems (GIS) for
planning and monitoring ICT projects in rural areas.

The pavilion will host products, services and projects from several partner
organizations. Mahiti.Org provides software services and web enablement for
the development sector. Mithi Technologies will showcase its regional
language emailing service, www.mailjol.com. E-Tapaal, another email service
project in English and regional languages, will also be showcased. Web Ezee
Technologies Private Ltd. will exhibit Data Vision, a handheld data
collection device. UNICEF will inaugurate its child healthcare project, Sisu
Samrakshak, in Karnataka. CoOptions Technologies Private Ltd., a
Hyderabad-based software company, will demonstrate its ICT-based products
for agricultural and financial services.

Mr. P. N. Suresh, of the NGO Srujana, has designed the installation. It
embodies a rural and artisanal aesthetic, and resembles a gateway to signify
new collaborative opportunities.
