authors. Government of Tamil Nadu brought the works of around 25 20th Century
authors into the public domain including Bharathiyar, Bharathidasan, Kalki,
Pattukottai Kalyanasundaram and others. And there were writers like Jeyakanthan

of their works into e-texts. Today, the project covers even the works of
expatriate Tamil authors from places like Malaysia,
Singapore, Sri Lanka and
other countries. (200 HTML and 81 PDF eBooks
