Few years back In Singapore
a website for Paavanar was launched and from www.devaneyam.net all
books of Paavanar could be accessed. It was in 2008. But alas, after the chief
promoter of that website Mr.Kovalangkannan the site went off.
The follower of Paavanar,
Kavi.Vinayagam who worked hard for creating this website is having all the backup
files of that website.
Ravi
Varao, an etymologist who has mastered .the techniques needed for etymological
studies and whose free e-books in net and blogs had drawn more than 5 lakh visitors
so far, had sent me, the pdf format of Paavanar’s books by his followers, which
is in the book itself. I have made a CD containing books collected so far.
Central Institute of Classical Tamil can bring out e-book in CD format. Complete
works of Devaneyap Paavanar had to be digitized. I am engaged in that quest.
The utmost importance is
Creation of Digital Library and Online Archives in Central Institute of
Classical Tamil. The Etymological Dictionary Project of Government of
Tamilnadu, which was supported by all Chief Minister’s who ruled and rule
Tamilnadu had to be digitized and put up in the proposed Digital Library of
Central Institute of Classical Tamil.
Currently
I am taking my personal initiative to digitize these etymological
dictionaries.
