The two web portals are named e-Munnetram and IT Nanban. The two computing software programmes, Keezhadi Keyboard and Tamizhi — Tamizhinayam Unicode converter, are particularly aimed at tracking the state’s 200 major infrastructure projects, costing more than about one lakh crore.

“The e-Munnetram portal will review progress by capturing key details such as the agreement date, start date, cost estimates, project progress… The portal allows Heads of Departments to update the progress periodically…”a government release said.
