Great News....Mam, can you post the official letter?

[Dr. Tarini Dev Goswami]

Dear Ms. Gaur,

Thank you for this latest information. I had heard this information in the last month from a person working in a well-known journal publishing house informally. I have also added an informal information discussed some of the national level e-journal consortium meetings about merging all the e-journal consortium presently available in India under different ministries into a single roof of one consortium.   So we may hope for that also in near future. 

[Barada Kanta Mohanty]
