சக்திகுமார், விருந்தோம்பல் குழு, asked: Can you all tell briefly what INFITT has achieved in the past quarter century?
Let me recall few efforts that I was involved in INFITT. I am sure other Infitters like Kalyan, Vasu, Maniam, Arul, Rama Sukanthan, ... visiting Dallas can add to the list.
(1) First and foremost, INFITT was involved in communications with https://unicode.org and Govt. of Tamil Nadu in bringing the Encoding of Tamil in ISO 10646 to a better shape than it was originally done. We used the famed Madras Tamil Lexicon as the basis. Now that enhanced Tamil in Unicode standard works in all platforms, mobiles in social media, Google OCR etc.,
For this, Profs. V. C. Kulandaiswamy and Mu. Ananthakrishnan helped and acted as patrons of INFITT until their passing away. You can see Prof. Mu. Ananthakrishnan announcing INFITT conference coinciding with Classical Tamil conference in Coimbatore (2010).

(I used Prof. MA's video also).

ஃபெட்னா ஆண்டு விழா மலர் ஒன்றில், பேரா. மு. ஆனந்த கிருஷ்ணன் ஐயாவைப் பற்றி ஓர் அஞ்சலிக் கட்டுரை எழுதினேன். அதைத் தேடி எடுத்து அனுப்புவேன்.
(2) I read "அக்கரைச் சீமையில்” by Mii. Pa. Somu who was with BBC Radio (Tamil) in 1960s. In my library, I have its 1961 edition. Somu was a member of Rasikamani TKC's VaTTattoTTi, and he tells in this book, how he located Rev. G. U. Pope's cemetery, his experience of meeting the British MP who was the son of the person who built Mullaip Periyar dam that helped 100s of villages etc., Then BBC Radio (Tamil) was getting shut down in the 90s. Repeatedly I wrote to BBC officials requesting them to start BBC (Tamil) service using the newly emerging Unicode encoding of Tamil script. We were elated when our request was granted. This modern news service has grown by leaps and bounds, and brings Tamil capacity to tell modern happenings around the World in trade, engg., medicine, etc.,upto date immediately. To make the classical language into a modern language, sites like BBC/Tamil do yeoman service.
