The three-day Tamil e-content development workshop, beginning tomorrow at the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU), will focus on developing scientific articles in Tamil on the terminologies in agricultural sciences, with at least 250 words per terminology.

The academy aims to upload at least one article about each glossary of agricultural science so that there will not be a zero response when users search on search engines like Google and Wikipedia.
The workshop aims to develop at least 25,000 mini-articles on various disciplines of agriculture like agronomy, soil science, pathology, entomology, breeding, social sciences, agricultural engineering, horticulture, and forestry.
The participants will be given hands on training for uploading e-contents on the websites for the purpose of researchers, students, and the farmers.
