It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Devnet came into being on 21st November, 1996 after persistent effort for almost two years. It was a proud moment and is still a proud moment for all of us in Devnet for a couple of reasons.

Many young individuals with an inclination towards the social sector joined the ranks with Devnet, contributing to the objectives and in the process, they also empowered themselves in the sector.
