Repurposing LNG terminals for Hydrogen Ammonia: Feasibility and Cost Saving
Anvita Intro Of Sites Jan2001
1. These are the two websites created under the Resource
Centre Project headed by Professor T.V. Prabhakar

The Comprehensive Resource Site for the
Bhagavadgita
The Bhagavadgita, or the Song of the Lord, is a
dialogue between a teacher and the disciple. This
dialogue occurs in the epic work, the Mahabharata.
The Bhagavadgita is composed of 701 shlokas (verses)
arranged in 18 chapters. It is one of the best-known
philosophical texts of India, and is said to contain the
essence of the knowledge of the ancient seers.
3. BASIC OBJECTIVES OF THIS PROJECT
• To Create Indian Language Content for the
Internet
• To Develop Tools and Technologies to put
up such Content
4. OTHER OBJECTIVES
• Help preserve at least part of the
philosophical texts of Indian Heritage in an
electronic medium
• Make such texts freely available
• Explore ways in which technology can
change the manner in which such texts are
viewed and studied
5. Help preserve the philosophical texts of Indian Heritage
in an electronic medium
People who are not computer scientists
basically use the computer
1. As a word processor
2. To preserve their texts/data
This is the most primary use of the technology
for the uninitiated
6. Make such texts freely available
The Internet and the World Wide Web are
revolutionary in that so much information
is freely available to the user
Indian Philosophical texts fit in well with the
concept of giving information/knowledge
away for ‘free’ – ancient seers remained
anonymous and students were not charged
tuition fees
7. Changing the ways in which texts are studied
Using a different medium to ‘publish’ texts does not
merely replace one medium with another
The dynamism of the way the texts are studied
changes
In the Gita Supersite, simple examples are
opening of multiple windows to read multiple texts
simultaneously
2-Book View
8. Changing the ways in which texts are studied
Indian philosophy is a network of concepts that are
explained from diverse points of view in different
texts
One of our plans is to build a Topic Map of these
major concepts
This will enable users to navigate through the Gita
Supersite as well as the other Heritage websites
that are on the anvil
9. http://www.bimari-jankari.org
Bimari-Jankari is the first website in Hindi that gives
information on diseases, dental health, personal
hygiene, exercise, nutrition related issues,
medicine and Indian law, medical insurance,
philosophy of treatment. It also has special
sections on First Aid, Emergency treatment,
medicines and diagnostic methods
10. Bimari-Jankari – the Hindi website on medicine &
health
An experiment in a very different aspect of building
Indian Language Websites
This website is different because:
1. The user-base is non-specialist, diverse and very
large
2. The content is simple but image intensive
3. The nature of interactivity can be primarily user-
specific, not content-specific
4. It answers a practical need of our people –
medical information & education for lay persons
