Dear Colleagues,

I feel immensely pleased in making “Manthan-AIF Award 2006 for Best e-Content Practices” public.

Manthan-AIF Award 2006 (www.manthanaward.com) is now open for nominations.

As many of you are aware by now and after going through the details of 2005 Manthan Awardees at www.manthanaward.com, you must have come to know that many awardees have gone international, and received wide spread recognition through various platforms like the World Summit Award (WSA), World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) and thereby affected a multiplier impact in the process. My sincere acknowledgement goes to the media fraternity in carrying forward the names of the Manthan Awardees and their diligent works across the length and breadth of the country and the world.
