Tamil Virtual Academy (TVA) is a high-profile autonomous institution
established by the Government of Tamil Nadu under its Information
Technology Department. TVA aims at providing Internet-based resources
and opportunities for the Tamil communities living in different parts
of the globe as well as others interested in learning Tamil, Science,
Technology, Tamil Computing software and acquiring knowledge of the
history, art, literature and culture of the Tamils and to identify,
establish, maintain and promote the solutions for the Tamil computing
requirements of Tamil Diaspora, Government, Educational, Media and
Business institution.
We believe that collaborations like these will help us set the
precedent to engage in free content advocacy works in other parts of
the country.
Thanks,
Ravi
