<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:black">ISOC Trivandrum has been created by a leadership group that has prior experience in creating technical organization spanning multiple
 user constituencies, including IEEE and the Computer Society of India. IEEE Kerala Section has close to 5,000 members of which youth & students form a majority. Since all of these constituencies are users of the Internet, and since Kerala is highly literate
 and has a history of engaging with global processes, we expect that ISOC Trivandrum will be able to attract a stream of users in a steady manner.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
