Odisha Govt. and Odia communication

How Odisha Govt. can promote online Odia communication

It is high time to use Odia language for all official communication in Odisha government sector. Since last one decade, the Unicode Odia has been developed and implemented. So the computer literate persons and administrators should use it for better written and online communication. Please follow the quick reference guide to use Odia typing in computers and so on:

1. The users must have a genuine OS (Operating System) for the desktop or laptop computers.
2. It has been seen that most of the computer users in Odisha are using pirated OS version of Windows XP. Windows XP has been declared obsolete by its developer Microsoft Inc. since 8 April 2014. So any of the computer must go for Windows7 or higher version of OS.
3. Strategically the Govt. sector should go for free and safe OS like Ubuntu (Linux).
4. Govt of India has developed Unicode typing tools for all scheduled Indian languages including Odia at free of cost. It can be downloaded or collected from the concerned website of TDIL (Technology Development for Indian Languages) i.e. http://ildc.in/langcdinit.html or can be ordered by online registration through the website, else can be contacted via toll free 18002091015.
5. The free typing tools are specially developed for various versions of OS.
6. The users should have learned the INSCRIPT keyboard, which is Indian Standard keyboard layout for all Indian languages.
7. Phonetic keyboard layout may be used by some users who are reluctant to learn the INSCRIPT keyboard. Alternatively you can download desktop typing tool in Odia from Microsoft Bhasha (http://bhashaindia.com/ilit/Oriya.aspx), which would enable you to Predictive Text Typing in Microsoft programs and Windows based programs. This is an amazing tool for everybody.
8. Alternatively the Windows7 or higher version OS users can get the in-built typing tool with INSCRIPT keyboard layout, by following the "Region and Language - Keyboards and Languages - Change Keyboard - General - Add....." option. So they don't need any other typing tool.
9. The govt. offices use nic.in or gov.in email Ids, which is developed, provided, and maintained by National Informatics Centre (NIC). So NIC can add a Typing tool plug-in to the email programs for Indic languages. However "desktop typing tool" is the best solution for Indic language communications online.
10. Much training is not required for Govt officials to make it convenient. Through visual and interactive training methods, relevant users can be able to handle Odia communications.
