Knowledge accumulated in a society is recorded in its language is the base for development, is a capital resource to be equitably distributed in democracy. ICT can enable this and empower and emancipate the backward people if their vital information needs can be met by it through their language and script. But our Information Infrastructures has disregarded "information" part; especially content in local language. A cause is identified as non availability of Language Technology. But now Unicode and related research enables reviving original local scripts for use in ICT. Discusses the essential Information systems to be developed in local scripts like those on indigenous knowledge. Opines that development of local language technology with provision for use of OCR, spell check etc for original script is a priority area in ICT development.Keywords
