The institute has asked Computer Science students, professionals, researchers, and internet enthusiasts from across the country to participate in the event.
As per an IIT Gandhinagar statement issued in this regard, “India has one of the largest and most rapidly growing mobile and internet users in the world, but a majority of these users are not very conversant with the English language, making it pertinent to discuss and popularise the creation and use of internet domains in various Indian languages to open new opportunities for the Indian masses.”
