What is Tally Developer?
Tally Developer – the comprehensive development environment for Tally applications
Tally Developer is a comprehensive development environment (an IDE) designed specifically for programmers to develop and deploy customized Tally applications, easily and rapidly.
Tally Developer is used to author Tally Definition Language (TDL) code that customises Tally 9 to suit your business requirements.
The Tally Developer IDE supports current generation development aids:
• Load and browse different versions of the default TDL source code of Tally
• Fast search, with TDL noise support
• Syntax checking and highlighting
• Hyperlinks to referenced objects
• Browser style navigation of source code and default TDL
• Direct access to TDL definitions
• Context sensitive attribute pick-list
To better manage licence and product upgrades, the Tally Developer 2.7 license is decoupled from the Tally application and now works as an independently licensed product.
How does it work Educational Mode ?
An educational mode has been introduced that allows students and others who are learning Tally Developer, to create TDL applications, with some limitations.
What is TCP (Tally Compiled Programs) ?
TCP (Tally Compiled Programs) can be generated in Tally 7.2 and in Tally 9 formats. These can be optionally protected to prevent unlicensed distribution and helps you better manage your revenue stream.
Wishing you a Very Happy and a Prosperous 2009
“I know this Post is not relevant here but the best new year message I got from a Friend.”, again do not know the source but was really worth sharing
Leap Year 2008 comes to an end - an eventful, tumultuous year in which all hell broke loose- a year many of us would like to erase from our memories but a year which historians would not allow us to forget.
As I try and recollect the important events of 2008 the following flash in my mind:
It was a year in which BSE Sensex scaled 21000 and also came below 8000.
It was a year in which crude touched US$ 150/barrel & then fell to US $ 30/barrel
It was a year in which financial heroes turned to zeroes. Institutions like Lehman Brothers, Goldman Sachs, AIG, Bear Sterns, Merrill were forced to bite the dust with many collapsing like pack of cards.
It was a year in which credit/ economic crises gripped the world and USA went on an over-drive of nationalizing the key industries.
It was a year in which Fed Reserve and Bank of Japan cut interest rate to zero.
It was a year in which USA for the first time in their history elected an Afro-American as the President.
It was a year in which China hosted the Olympics and also faced one of the worst earthquakes.
It was a year in which Bindra won the first individual gold medal in Olympics and did India proud. It was also the year in which Dhoni & his team had a dream run in Cricket.
It was an year in which India faced terrorist attacks in cities like Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Delhi culminating in the worst form of terror attack in Mumbai with Tajmahal & Oberoi - two landmark hotels of Mumbai being under seize leading to several innocent lives being lost.
It was a year in which the sight of smoke billowing from the tower of Tajmahal Palace Hotel telecast continuously for 60 hours by the Indian electronic media aroused the educated & elite from their slumber and they cried in unison: “enough is enough”!
It was a year in which another Indian beauty came close to winning the coveted Miss World title.
It was a year in which an Indian spaceship landed on the moon.
It was a year in which Singh became the king - whether it was Manmohan, Jaspal, Yuvraj , Harbhajan or Akshay Kumar.
With 2008 behind us, let us welcome 2009 with open arms with new hope for a better world & better times ahead!

Theme:Post: Personality
Vi. KALYANASUNDARANAR
Vi Kalyanasundaranar, popularly known as Thiru Vi. Ka. was one of the prominent figures in Indian political life. He was an eminent scholar in Tamil, a prolific writer, a fiery speaker, a trade union leader, and a freedom fighter as well.

He was born on 26th August 1883 to Virudhachala Mudaliar and Chinnammal. After completing his education in Wesley High School, Royapettah, he joined as a teacher in the same school. He worked in several companies run by the English, but inspired by the ideals of Bal Gangadhar Tilak and the prevailing nationalist sentiments, he gave up his job and joined the freedom struggle. For this he was put under house arrest.
In 1983, Vi. Kalyanasundaranar was closely associated with Mahatma Gandhi. Whenever Gandhiji came to Chennai and addressed public meetings, Vi. Kalyanasundaranar translated his speeches in Tamil language. It was he who started addressing Mahatma Gandhi as ‘Gandhi Adigal’. He did not hesitate from addressing the gatherings in Tamil. This encouraged others to feel proud of expressing themselves freely in their mother tongue i.e. Tamil while addressing public meetings at that time.
He started a labour union in 1918 in Chennai. He organized a confederation of labour unions in 1920.
He started a newspaper ‘Desa Bakthan’ but it was banned by the British. Then he started another newspaper’Nava Sakthi’ and worked for the growth of Tamil language and for propagating nationalist ideals
.
A great scholar, Vi. Kalyanasundaranar authored more than fifty books, the most popular being ‘The Greatness of Women’ in which he spreadd the ideals of national freedom, the growth of Tamil language and literature, and social reforms, particularly emancipation of women in all walks of life.
His career was marked by his nationalism, spiritual discipline, courage and compassion. He passed away on 17th September 1953, but his legacy lives on.
The Department of Posts honours the life and works of Vi. Kalyanasundaranar through the issue of a commemorative postage stamp.

World Summit on the Information Society
The digital revolution in information and communication technologies has created the platform for a free flow of information, ideas and knowledge across the globe. This revolution has made a profound impression on the way the world functions and is critical to both the developed world as a business and social tool and the developing world as a passport to equitable participation, as well as- economic, social and educational development.

World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) is a formal United Nations Summit at the level of Heads of State and Government. It is the result of an initiative by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) further endorsed by the United Nationals General Assembly (Resolution 56/1983) in 2001. Its aim is to develop a common vision and understanding of the Global Information Society and to draw up a strategic Plan of Action for concerted development towards realizing this vision. The purpose of the World Summit on the Information Society is to ensure that these benefits are accessible to all while promoting specific advantages in areas such as e-strategies, e-commerce, e- governance, e-health, education, literacy, cultural diversity, gender equality, sustainable development and environmental protection.
The process is divided in two phases and the first phase of the summit was held in Geneva from 10 to 12 December 2003, where the foundations were laid by reaching agreement on a Declaration of Principles and a plan of action which form the basis for a global common approach towards the Information Society of all United Nations Member States where the Declaration of Principles presents a vision of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). At WSIS Geneva in December 2003, World leaders declared “our common desire and commitment to build a people-centred, inclusive and development-oriented Information Society, where everyone can create, access, utilize and share information and knowledge, enabling individuals, communities and peoples to achieve their full potential in promoting their sustainable development and improving their quality of life, premised on the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and respecting fully and upholding the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.”
The Road to Tunis entails a process of monitoring and evaluation of the progress of feasible actions laid out in the Geneva Plan and a concrete set of deliverables that must be achieved by the time the Summit meets again in Tunis on 16 to 18 November 2005. Efforts are now being made to put the Plan of Action into motion and working groups are being set up to find solutions and reach agreements in the fields of Internet governance and financing mechanisms.
United Nations Summits have been held on a variety of issues that have commanded the attention of the world, including the pioneering World Summit for Children (1990), the Earth Summit on Environment and Development (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), the World Conference on Human Rights (Vienna, 1993), the International Conference on Population and Development (Cairo, 1994), the World Summit for Social Development (Copenhagen, 1995), the International Conference on Women (Beijing, 1995, and the Financing for Development Conference (Monterrey, Mexico, 2002). The Millennium Summit (New York, 2000) brought together world leaders in a unique display of solidarity to achieve far-reaching development goals by 2015.
The objective of the WSIS is to effectively assist the United Nations in fulfilling the goals of the Millennium Declaration. The ultimate objective is to turn the vision of an inclusive and equitable Information Society into reality. This is only possible when the digital revolution is harnessed into extending the frontiers of the global village as well as facilitating the free flow of knowledge and information for economic and social development.
India Post is pleased to issue a postage stamp to commemorate the World Summit on the Information Society, Tunis, 2005

KAVIMANI S.
DESIGAVINAYAGAM PILLAI
In the annals of 20th century Tamil literature, the name of S. Desigavinayagam Pillai occupies a special place.
Born to Sivathanupillai and Adilakshmi at Theroor in the Princely state of Travancore now known as Kanyakumari District in Tamilnadu on 27th July 1876, Desigavinayagam Pillai had his early school education in Theroor and attended college at Nagarcoil. He started his career as a school teacher and after serving in one or two schools in Kottar and in Trivandrum, he joined Maharaja’s college at Trivandrum as a lecturer in Tamil.
He composed his first Tamil poem at the age of 19. He wrote many songs for children which were published in’Malarum Malayum’ (Flower & Garland) in 1938. Asiya Jothi (Light of Asia), Nanjil Nattu Marumakkal Vazhi Manmiyam (a satire on society) and the translation of the work of Omarkhayyam are his master pieces. Even now, his poems are taught in schools and colleges. His poems are marked by nobility of intent and simplicity of language. He had a good command over Malayalam and English and translated the work of some selected authors from English to Tamil. In 1940 the Tamil S angam at its 7th annual conference held at Madras honoured Desigavinayagam Pillai with the title’Kavimani .
He was also an epigraphist and studied many stone inscriptions in and around Kanyakumari and Nagarcoil. His research work “Kandalur Salai” was very famous and was reprinted in the year 1953. Desigavinayagam Pillai adopted simple living and high thinking as his guiding principle. In 1948 Kavimani was offered the post of the Laureate which he refused and recommended the name of a contemporary Tamil poet for this post. He also showed unwillingness for the post of Honorary Professor of Tamil offered by Shri Raja Muthiya Chettiyar, the pro-chancellor of Annamalai University.
A devout follower of Gandhiji, he always wore khadi and use to spin the Charkha. He was deeply concerned with the upliftment of the downtrodden.
The South Travancore Hindu College was the brain child of Kavimani Desigavinayagam Pillai. He retired from service early back in 1931 but even after retirement he worked as a member of text book committee of Travancore state and also as a consultant for Tamil lexicon prepared by Madras University.
He breathed his last on 26th September 1954 at the age of 78 but till today kavimani S. Desigavinayagam Pillai lives in the hearts and minds of people because of his noble deeds and legendary qualities
.
The Department of Posts honours the memory of Kavimani Desigavinayagam Pillai through issue of this commemorative postage stamp.

KolKata Police Commissionerate
The beginning of policing in Kolkata can be traced in 1704 when a decision was taken to protect the life and property of the people by setting up a watch and ward unit for the township. In 1720, the East India company formally appointed the Zaminder of Calcutta to be in- charge of both civil and criminal administration who was assisted by Indian functionary. In 1778, the strength of the police in Calcutta was raised which was controlled by Thanadars and Naibs under a Superintendent.

In 1829, a six-member Committee was appointed by Lord William Bentinck for enquiry and advice on police reforms. Subsequently, in 1845 another Committee headed by Mr. Patton was appointed by the Government. This Committee recommended the appointment of a Commissioner of Police with powers of a justice of peace, which were necessary for the preservation of order and prevention and detection of crime. The recommendations of the Patton Committee resultedd in Act XIII of 1856 after receiving the assent of the Governor-General on 13 June 1856. Calcutta Police for the first time was treated as a separate organization and S. Wauchope, the then Chief-Magistrate, was appointed as the First Commissioner of Police on November 1856.
Starting with a modest strength, Kolkata Police, has grown into an organization comprising of more than twenty-six thousand police personnel. With its jurisdiction spread over 104 sq. Km, with a population of over 5 million and an additional floating population of over 2.5 million, policing in Kolkata is a unique challenge.
Kolkata Police has served the city with sincerity and dedication. Be it in the maintenance of law and order, prevention and detection of crime, controlling communal violence, disaster management or in providing internal security. Quick action springing from purposeful direction is achieved by the Police Commissionerate Systemm with a unitary chain of command and control.
In 1720 the Police establishment was located on the east of Norton’s Buildings. in 1784, The polish establishment, including the police force, was shifted to another building, “Harmonic Tavern.” Subsequently, the entire police office was relocated to the house of John Palmer. In 1835, The Government purchased the building for the Calcutta Police Head Quarters, demolished it in 1914 to facilitate construction of new premises. In Nov’ 1918, the present day Kolkata Police headquarters popularly known as “Lal Bazar” was completed.
As a people-friendly force, Kolkata Police has a number of proactive programmes to involve people from all walks of life into its work. Community Policing programmes involve regular interaction between Police Stations and local communities on local issues and problems. There are women’s counselling centres to help women in distress from domestic violence, sexual harassment or oppression. The force has also reached out with the Nabadisha education programme for street children, the friendship cup for the youth, and regular blood donation programmes that involve men of the force as well as the community.
