Cultural diversity and identity
In India, the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) implemented the India Development Gateway (InDG), a nationwide government initiative that seeks to use the power of ICTs to empower the poor and underserved through the provision of information in local languages (SDGs 4, 8, and 11). The multilingual knowledge portal www. indg. in developed as part of the initiative offers information, products and services covering key livelihood sectors in nine Indian languages, besides English. The portal acts as a catalyst for collaboration and knowledge sharing among development stakeholders. Building on experiences and usefulness, the scope of the portal is currently being enhanced to support collaborative content creation, more languages and region-specific information.
