Kerala State IT Mission Launches Education Portal

We’d written earlier about Sakshat, the educational portal launched by the Indian government. Now, the Kerala State IT Mission has launched an educational website in Malayalam – Padavukal.org. According to this report in the Hindu Business Line:

the site has over 600 pages of multimedia content on a wide range of topics such as courses of study, different professions, a directory of educational institutions, distance learning options, studying abroad, a list of recruitment agencies, entrance exams, essays on career development, self employment, finance options including scholarships and loans, aptitude tests and so on.

I couldn’t verify it because I don’t know Malayalam. I just don’t understand the need for a portal separate from Sakshat (badly designed as it is) and why they’ve chosen to make a Flash based site, since a basic HTML would be far more accessible. How much did this portal cost? Or, for that matter, how much did Sakshat cost?
