Hyderabad , Feb. 27 THE Centre has decided to digitise hundreds of thousands of manuscripts and graphic details on diverse cultural forms of the country. Announcing this at the valedictory of the tenth National Youth Festival here, Mr S. Jaipal Reddy, Union Minister for Information, Broadcasting and Culture, said the digitised content would be made available for downloading from any part of the world.
