Sir,

It is a good decision. But I have suggestions. First of all this willl be acceptable to all its a good news to me. If BSNL and Smart digivision combined with the bublic libraries of India for their Information Communication Technology projects it will be much helpful to peoples, because they could get the manuscripts of thei taste only through the digitization process through out the libraries. And many of the young engineersand Library science students arewell interested in "Information processing" sectors and will make much use to customers
