Bill Gates to visit India later this year
Microsoft Chairman and the world’s richest individual Bill Gates have accepted an invitation to give India a visit later this year. He has been invited by the Union Minister of Communications and Information Technology Dayanidhi Maran. The visit is expected to take place in December 2005 and he would also be visiting Chennai during his tour.
Maran went on to meet the person who can be potentially given the credit for bringing Personal Computers to the common man. Windows Operating System powers more than 90% of all desktops in the world and this has helped Microsoft become one of the biggest corporations of its kind in the world.
Maran was accompanied with a delegation from India when he met Bill Gates at the Redmond headquarters of Microsoft Corporation in the United States. They discussed the possibilities of Microsoft’s role in the removal of the digital divide in the country, which is very much otherwise touted as the IT superpower of the world. Bill Gates is expected to unveil his India centric strategies on his tour to the country with big plans to make their software work with Indian languages.
The company has openly supported the Union Government’s efforts to spread computer literacy and facilitate the adoption of e-governance, enabling research on Indian-language computing technologies and cooperation on IT security.
