MAPUSA, Aug 20: The Goa Desc Resource Centre, Mapusa, today launched its website and E-documentation service, in the presence of Mr George Pinto, president of Goa Sudharop Community Development Inc, USA. The E-documentation service, now available as a link on the Goa Desc website, will help people to access information about local issues at a fast rate. Says Mr Roland Martins of Goa Desc, "It will help research students, journalists, policy makers and the general public to access articles that were published by the local press on various issues in a connected way instead of looking at them in isolation. For instance, all information regarding the fishing controversy that erupts in Goa every year will be available under one section and so on." The website and E-documentation unit with its 3 computers is an activity supported by Goa Sudharop. Mr Martins thanked Goa Sudharop and other NGOs who supported in this venture. Describing Goa Sudarop as a non-profit organisation, its president, Mr George Pinto said that the NGO was networking with other similar organisations in Goa which were committed to the betterment of the state. He said that Goa Sudharop's projects of providing free computers to Goan schools and initiatives in Goan health care would be followed by more projects for the betterment of Goan society. Members of various NGOs joined in lighting the traditional lamp to mark the launch of the website and E-Documentation Service. Also present were Mr Claude Alvares of Goa Foundation, Mr Dadu Mandrekar, Dalit activist, Messrs Ashley Delaney and Mario Mascarenhas, volunteers of Goa Sudharop and members of various consumer cells around Goa. ======================================= GOA DESC RESOURCE CENTRE Documentation + Education + Solidarity 11 Liberty Apts., Feira Alta, Mapusa, Goa 403 507 Tel: 252660 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Working On Issues Of Development & Democracy ======================================= =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-W-E-B---S-I-T-E-=-=-= To Subscribe/Unsubscribe from GoaNet | http://www.goacom.com/goanet =================================================================== For (un)subscribing or for help, Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dont want so many e=mails?
