Author Description

India is a country with a very deep and significant history and a grand heritage. Its culture and traditions are very unique, varied and celebrated the world over. Each and every district in the country has its own set of heritage structures, traditions and cultural practices. One of the important facets of our heritage is the palm-leaf manuscripts. Their fragile nature makes palm-leaf manuscripts susceptible to damage. It is the duty of our society to safeguard its culture and heritage and pass it on to the next generation. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) provides us with an array of solutions for data collection, processing and presentation. The use of ICT in the preservation and dissemination of our Culture and Heritage is an area with high potential, and is to be explored in depth, in a domain-specific manner.
