E-MahaShabdkosh : English - Hindi Dictionary


 

ई-महाशब्दकोश - E-MahaShabdkosh by MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS, DEPARTMENT OF OFFICIAL LANGUAGE

Department of Official Language in the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India has been in the business of promoting use of Hindi in Central Government offices and organizations. Over a period of time, a number of measures have been taken to encourage increased use of Hindi in the functioning of the Government officials at the Centre. Experience has proved that a large number of officials and staff under the Central Govt. offices and organizations are keen to increasingly use Hindi for their day to day business and are not able to effectively use the language due to lack of adequate facilities. Ways and means to provide effective facilities for smooth functioning in Hindi have been considered by the Government. The idea of promoting Hindi making use of the modern technology through the electronic media has emerged as a solution to the problems faced by those who are desirous of working in Hindi and are hesitant to do so due to inadequate facilities.

Department of Official Language has entered into an Agreement with C-DAC, a computing company under the Ministry of Information and Technology to develop suitable softwares for enabling working in Hindi in Government offices an efficient and easy task. The softwares developed over the last few years include Self-learning of Hindi language (LILA series), instant translation from English to Hindi in selected domains through the MANTRA series, software for dictation in Hindi through Shrutlekhan software, software for English speech recognition and its translation into Hindi combined in one through Vachantar. The latest in the series of softwares produced in collaboration with the C-DAC by the Department of Official Language is the E-MahaShabdkosh i.e. a bilingual, bidirectional and pronouncing dictionary. It is intends to bridge the gap immensely between technology and promotion of Hindi as the Official Language. The main feature of E-MahaShabdkosh is that it is focused on the domains of Administration, Healthcare and Industry in its present form.E-MahaShabdkosh will have the following features:-
- Devanagari script depicted using UNICODE Fonts

CONFEDERATION WRITES TO DOPT ON GRANT OF INCREMENT TO SPORTS PERSONS

Dated: 28th December, 2012
The Secretary, Personnel,
Department of Personnel and Training,
North Block,
New Delhi. 110- 001.

Dear Sir,

Sub: "incentive increments to sports persons for outstanding sports achievements, National and International levels.
Ref: Your letter MNo. 6/2/2008 Pay I dated August, 2008.

Kindly refer to the above cited letter.

The practice of giving incentive increments to the sportsperson who excel was to be replaced with lump sum grant. Views were called for by the Department of Personnel from all Ministries/Departments as also individuals. We have felt that there was no need to change the existing system as we found to be a better financial benefit in the longer run. Lumpsum grant however, large it may be will not help the persons who have worked hard in their youthful days. However, we felt that the sportsperson must have a say in the matter.
More than 4 years have passed now. No views from the Ministries or individuals seem to have been received by the Department of Personnel. Or if received it has not been made known.

It has been represented to us that in the name of changing the entire scheme itself, the incentive increment system was in vogue was discontinued with effect from 1.1.2006. As you are aware, the scheme was introduced in Government service with effect from 1985 with a view to attract the sports personnel to choose the Government service and more so to encourage them so that they can acquit themselves creditably.

We, in the circumstances, request that the incentive scheme may be revived and made effective from 1.1.2006. In the case of all allowances which are incentive in character, the Government had doubled the amount after the 6th CPC.

The action taken in this regard may please be intimated to us.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,
K.K.N. Kutty
Secretary General.

India Post 2013 Calendar


Department of Posts released India Post 2013 Calendar based on the theme of Astrological Signs.


The occult has always held a fascination for the human mind. Whether it is deemed an art or a mathematically accurate science, the fascination remains. From the days of Vedic astrology and the Delphic Oracle to current days, we have an inherent curiosity about ourselves, our past and future.

The twelve zodiac signs are represented by figures and symbols and associated with constellations and planets and their old Greek or Roman or Indian legends. Without any partisanship on the veracity or otherwise of astrology and the occult arts, the Department of Posts had issued a set of stamps on zodiac astrological signs. The designs of the stamps are rooted in Indian folk art and depict the 12 zodiac signs- against four base colours which reflect the elements of earth, air, fire and water. India Post 2013 Calendar
is inspired by these postage stamps.

India Post 2013 Calendar is available at various Philatelic Bureaus in the country at the price of Rs. 250/- .
