The proposed Centre will assist the Directorate of Information Technology (DIT) of the state government in international consortia and other standardisation bodies so that Marathi language gets its "rightful place" in national and international scenario, officials said, adding this activity will "ensure interoperability between most of the applications across various platforms."
The Centre will evolve guidelines for creation of knowledge repository of various resources available in Marathi such as dictionaries, e-books, audio and interactive books and assist DIT in development of Marathi lexicons and standardised dictionaries and terminologies that can be used for e-governance applications.
Scope of work proposed to be undertaken by the COE for Marathi will also include training to government employees, testing and benchmarking the products and services and applications.
