Auriga Logic develops the first Bi-lingual web site for an Indian University

Founded in 1935 in Jaipur (Rajasthan) Banasthali Vidyapith is one of the five universities in India meant exclusively for Women. Having a population of over 3000 residential students and a large faculty, it was imperative for Bansathali Vidyapith to not only possess but also efficiently maintain a web site that was optimally utilised for the benefit of all.

To effectively maintain the web site there was a need to decentralise content publishing for different educational departments wherein individual departments could manage their own sections without involvement of the IT staff. This decentralisation would also save time in uploading time bound information like examination results and admission announcements.

Auriga Logic identified this need and deployed its Web Content Management System (CMS) - Activesite to aid in the development and management of the web site. Activesite helps in maintaining a consistent look and feel across all pages, organising content for quick access and keeping the web site up to date with fresh content.

Since Banasthali's entire architecture stands upon the twin foundation pillars of Nationalism and Indian Culture, the management strongly believed in promoting the web site in the national language 'Hindi' apart from English. This initiative was also for the benefit of the large Non English Speaking population of India who could have easy access to university information and admission procedures.

Activesite's multi locale features were leveraged to create and publish content in Hindi. Any user could access the web site in Hindi without having to download any fonts or install any new software on their browser. Banasthali Vidyapith is the only university in India to have a bilingual web site (as of Feb 2005).

Banasthali Vidyapith has recognised the importance of IT in today’s competitive education environment and has invested heavily in IT infrastructure to provide cutting edge facilities to its staff and students. The same philosophy has led them to enhance their website by deploying Auriga Logic's Web CMS.
