Dear Members, On the Web, a Vortal (Vertical Industry Portal) is a website that provides a gateway or portal to info. related to a particular industry such as healthcare, insurance, automobile or food manufacturing. (A vertical industry is one that is focused on a relatively narrow range of goods & services, where as a horizontal industry is one that aims to produce a wide range of goods & services. Because most industry tends to specific, most industry tends to vertical) e.g. - http://www.cars.com (It's a platform for buying, selling & valuing cars of all makes).

Ministry of Culture focuses on Preservation of Palm Leaf Manuscripts
by Susmita Chakraborty 31 Aug '07

Ministry of Culture focuses on Preservation of Palm Leaf Manuscripts The Minister of Tourism and Culture Smt. Ambika Soni has said that rare palm leaf manuscripts are preserved and protected scientifically under the National Mission for Manuscripts, through the network of 33 Manuscript Conservation Centres and their partner centres, spread all over the country. In a written reply in the Lok Sabha today she said, under the Mission no state-wise allocation of funds is made. However, the details of the amount spent under the Mission during the last three years are as under: Year Allocation ( In Rs. Crore) 2004-05 3.47 2005-06 7.90 2006-07 9.43 (USD 2.3 million) Under the National Mission for Manuscripts (http://www.namami.org) digitization of important manuscripts in the country is taken up to prepare a national database of important manuscripts ( http://www.namami.org/pdatabase.aspx) This is an ongoing process and, therefore, no deadline can be fixed. However, since the launch of the Mission in 2003, more than 15,000 manuscripts containing 2.2 million manuscript pages have already been digitized . A large number of new manuscripts, running into thousands, have been unearthed under the Mission. The National Mission for Manuscripts helps in spreading awareness about the manuscript heritage of India through awareness campaigns, workshops, National surveys, exhibitions, public lectures and publication of books on manuscripts.
