Village knowledge centres
by Subbiah Arunachalam 13 Jul '05

13 Jul '05

Government of India Comes Forward to Support Mission 2007: Every Village a Knowledge Centre Subbiah Arunachalam Distinguished Fellow M S Swaminathan Research Foundation Chennai 600 113, India New Delhi, 12 July 2005 India's Finance Minister, Mr Palaniappan Chidambaram, announced today that the Government of India would support the Mission 2007: Every Village a Knowledge Centre, to the tune of Rs 65,000 million [roughly US $1,500 million). He was speaking at the Second Convention of the National Alliance for Mission 2007: Every Village a Knowledge Centre, held at New Delhi. Conceived by Prof. M S Swaminathan, the man who brought in the Green Revolution to India, the Mission aims to usher in a knowledge revolution in India by connecting all the more than 600,000 villages of a India in a knowledge network by 15 August 2007, the 60th anniversary of India's Independence. After a series of meetings with a wide cross section of people from government, academia, civil society organizations and corporations, Prof. Swaminathan announced the Mission 2007 in mid 2004. As such a huge programme cannot be undertaken by any single organization, Swaminathan went on to build a National Alliance, perhaps the largest multi-stakeholder partnership in the field of ICT-enabled development in the world. There are more than 150 members in the Alliance including the University of California, Berkeley; MIT, Cambridge; IDRC, Ottawa; the Nasscom Foundation, New Delhi, and OneWorld. The first convention of the National Alliance was held in New Delhi in October 2004. The second convention took place in New Delhi on 11 and 12 July 2005. Among the people who spoke at the convention are His Excellency the President of India Dr A P J Abdul Kalam; Mr P Chidambaram, the Finanace Minister of India; Mr Mani Shankar Iyer, Minister for Panchayati Raj; Mr M V Rajasekaran, Minister of State for Planning, and a number of senior government officials. The President Of India, Dr Abdul Kalam was very happy to see more than 135 elected Fellows of the National Virtual Academy for Rural Prosperity - all of them grassroots workers from rural India. Mr Mani Shankar Iyer suggested that the Village Knowledge Centres should preferably be established in collaboration with the Panchayati Raj (village level government) institutions and thus empower the village level leaders and the communities. -----

Value of LIS Profession and Professional
by sri Lakshmi 13 Jul '05

13 Jul '05

Hello, Here is an experience of an interview attended by by me at one of the academic college at Mysore. There was an adversitement in a news paper calling for the interview for the post of Librarian at one of the institution at Mysore. It was a walk in Interview. I went to the interview and I was passed. The next day they said me to join for their institution as librarian. The conditions were like , they wanted their library to be automated with in 1 month (with more than 1000 documents) without any assistant and many other things like it is a full time job, 700 students, should serve the institution, facility given to the students should be very good etc. etc.All the things needed to be done in a hightech pattern. Finally my turn came to ask about the pay scale. The reply was Rs 1500 per month. You cant get more than this because you will not be teaching any students,you will not be doing any other work like a teacher etc. What do you say about this? Lakshmi. ____________________________________________________ Sell on Yahoo! Auctions no fees. Bid on great items. http://auctions.yahoo.com/

Good one on Passwords
by Jayadev P Hiremath 13 Jul '05

13 Jul '05

Read it or forward it to your System administrator Back in the dark ages of the Internet as we know it -- before we had so many malware threats and Web application vulnerabilities -- strong passwords were the security solution. This was especially true in Windows after it was discovered just how easy it was to capture and crack LANMan passwords in NT. Even today, it seems that practically everyone (both inside and outside IT) has their own opinion on what it takes to create and enforce secure passwords. The consensus is that if we use uppercase, lowercase, numbers and special characters at least seven to eight characters in length, then our passwords are magically unbreakable. It's simply not true. Every year, I test a fairly large number of standalone Windows workstations, servers and domains for password vulnerabilities. Network managers occasionally tell me they know everyone has weak passwords, but most are completely unaware just how widespread the problem is. Based on what I've seen, most passwords that supposedly meet the "generally accepted" requirements can be guessed with some basic trial and error -- a nominal effort that can lead to high payoffs for the bad guys with little chance that they'll get caught. There are some legitimate password challenges that network managers struggle with. Many of these end up being serious security vulnerabilities that lead to risks most organizations aren't prepared to handle. The following are some common password management misconceptions along with an idea or two on hardening Windows security. Myth #1: Assigning all users passwords will help keep their workstations secure. Big mistake. Responsibility and accountability must be placed in the user's control. Otherwise, what incentive do they have to do better? Notice I didn't say that password policy enforcement should be placed in their hands. That's a different issue. Security decisions never should be placed in the hands of users. Rather, enforce strong passwords via written policy, GPOs or another password management system, and ongoing auditing. Also, what happens when a rogue or ex-network administrator abuses an innocent user's account? There's hardly an audit trail that can fix this. Myth #2: Having tight physical security will make systems safe against sniffers and password crackers. What happens when authentication for internal Citrix NFuse Web interfaces, Web applications and other systems are tied into Windows domain accounts? The password problem that was once just an internal issue is now opened up to the world. This is a big, big problem that's affecting more and more systems. Myth #3: Upper management can't force users to remember complex passwords, so it will just accept anything bad that may or may not occur. What I'm finding is that most upper managers and executives don't really understand the gravity of the problem. They think all users can be trusted, that no one shares their passwords, and that there's really not much to lose when a standard user account is compromised. Here's a trick to shed some light on the issue: Simply log in with basic user rights, and see what you can see on network servers and workstation shares. Perform basic text searches, and look for words such as "ssn," "credit card," "dob" and other things that users have been granted access. Your findings are sure to make even the biggest nonbelievers realize there's a security problem -- especially when combined with the technical vulnerability I mentioned in the point above. Myth #4: Requiring users to change passwords often will keep Windows secure. Again, this is another major misconception. What's the natural human tendency when we can't keep up with new passwords -- especially multiple passwords that must be changed every 30, 60 or 90 days? We write them down. This is a real tough one to prevent if users are forced to jump through unrealistic hoops in the name of security. The solution here is to create strong but easily remembered passwords (or better yet passphrases). And if they're never shared or suspected to have been compromised, why change them often if ever? The latter is what I always recommend. As long as we're forced to use passwords for our computing needs, I think passphrases are the only realistic solution. Build on the upper/lower/numerical/special character idea, but create passphrases that are long, impossible to crack and memorable. Once you explain it in simple terms and give good examples like "Man, I LOVE hard rock music!" your users' and executives' eyes will light up. It's virtually guaranteed.

Other databases provide information ongrants and funding resources, regional contacts, Internet medicalsites, glossary terms, and links to healthcare organizationsthroughout the region. While the Knowledge Network addresses all aspects of health andmedicine, a particular focus lies in several specialty subjectareas--such as community health, emergency medicine, healthmanagement, HIV/AIDS, infection control, maternal and child health,medical informatics, nursing, primary healthcare, and women'shealth--that represent common, critical issues throughout the region. Through research and collaboration, the EurasiaHealth team isconstantly working to develop and catalog new resources in each ofthese areas. The EurasiaHealth Web site also features a variety of interactiveforums, including discussion forums, a teleconsultation forum, and aset of Internet mailing lists, that allow healthcare professionals tocommunicate and consult directly with one another. Theteleconsultation forum supplies a template for clinicians to postinformation about interesting or difficult cases and enables them torequest feedback from hundreds of colleagues and specialists atpartner institutions and the world over. These consultation requestsare then sent out via the EurasiaTeleconsult Internet mailing list. The foundation of EurasiaHealth is the experiences and resources thathave been developed through AIHA's health care partnership program,which brings together over 350 health care institutions, includinghospitals, health systems, medical universities, government bodies andNGOs in the NIS, CEE and the United States.
