technology coverage in the Tamil print media. At a time when good articles or even basic information on computers was hard to come by or confined to the more expensive English periodicals, we blazed a new trail by launching Tamil Computer. The first issue of Tamil Computer was released in November 1994 with the cover story of acclaimed writer Sujatha, one of the few writer focused on writing about Technology in Tamil at the time. Tamil Computer was able to deftly bridge the gap between Technology and Tamil readers.

Readers who were more comfortable with Tamil than English were happy to read about Computing in their mother tongue as it offered them the opportunity to understand computers lot better than they would have otherwise. Tamil Computer has also served many Tamil medium students from schools to colleges across Tamil Nadu. Hearing them describe Tamil Computer as their biggest opportunity to bridge the gap with their English-medium peers is a source of great pride to us and has driven us to make more news and articles on Computing and Technology easily accessible.

The simple motive behind Tamil Computer is to present the Tamil reader with all the game-changing improvements in the world of Computing and Technology in simple and lucid Tamil. Tamil Computer is one of the many initiatives started by its publisher Mr. K. Jayakrishnan, who is a firm believer in using media as a tool to educate and empower the Tamil speaking population. To this end, a measure of Tamil Computer’s success and a constant source of encouragement is the number of readers who – as the magazine’s readership grew – turned into regular contributors and evolved into Tamil Technology writers. Further encouragement was also provided by the Government of Tamil Nadu, which presented the "Best Technology Magazine" award for the year 1999 to Tamil Computer.
