This demonstration project will include: a) the selection of 1 - 3 types of data bases using microcomputers (The selec- tion is by Indian researchers and planners in the order of the bases' importance to India, e.g. medical care records; regional agricultural data bases.) b) implementation of information systems. c) evaluation of systems and recommendations for future applications.
