E-learning for rural boys and girls
Srei Sahaj e-Village, a subsidiary of Srei Infrastructure and Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) plan to collaborate to provide distance leaerning programs to villages in rural India. While unsurprising, it is a very serious issue as “[t]he net enrollment ratio of the rural youth stands at a mere 7.48 percent for boys and 4.5 percent for girls, which is remarkably lower than 17.84 percent and 16.9 percent respectively for urban boys and girls.” [Source: SiliconIndia]
Through the use of Sahaj’s Common Service Centers coupled with IGNOU’s accredidation for every course, the partnership will be able to provide much needed mediums for education at 12,000 locations.

i would like to assist in this inititative . we are currently conducting IT -online assessments for an NGO in regional languages and have developed an online offline platforms , keeping in mind the current internet infrastructure ( bandwidth) available in villages.
Count me in this noble cause. I strongly believe that educating people is perhaps the easiest step that can be taken to bring a positive change in their lives. I’m working with a online program which basically helps students but I can join hands with your staff and help them design an appropriate course outline for less privileged youth in rural areas.
