Good beginning and good going indeed. There may be obstacles, but a beginning has been made. Create wealth and distribute wealth. This is what is called giving back to the Society. Big Heart. May Providence be with you.

I am not sure how you take this project forward and how the beneficiaries would benefit out of it, but I knew, certainly you would make a dent in this endeavor! Congratulations!

The entire set up is good, post some good teachers at grass root

It is a good thing that Mr.Nandan is trying things in his own style. There is nothing wrong. From Where APJ learnt things? It was not digital. What we now need is only dedicated teachers, who love teaching. It is the passion that counts sir. Please do not pump billions into dust bins. I am sure you won't do that. Just like the SUPER 30 hand pick good kids and train them suitably. Government can provide the rest of the work. What for do we have the Government in place?

What Nandan, Premji et al can do

They may pool their resources and develop world class teaching material from class 1 to 12 in all subjects( leaving controversial history aside) chapter wise/ topic wise as video on demand. Offer this material free to CBSE and all education boards in the country. Arrange to provide players and projectors in every school. Offer vod free on internet. Let DD run telecast regular classes.
This is the only way to provide standard all over the country. Enrollment is not the problem. major areas of concern now are attendance and standard.

nilekani on mass education
by raghavendra rao on Aug 25, 2015 10:57 AM

we appreciate the good work. pl think about distance education for rural children & women with pre-recorded teachings, pre-fabricated(standardised) classrooms. to some extent, this will overcome acute shortage of teachers.

Excellent work and some suggestions
by srnvs san on Aug 25, 2015 10:26 AM

1. Kudos to work being done by Mr and Mrs. Nandanji

2. Need to use Panchatantra model to teach kids. Stories of animals and birds were used to explain Rajaniti etc ....

Same holds good for education as well.

3. Kids have to climb two hills.
One hill to learn English and
another hill to learn the subject

4. Be a Mahnji and get rid of the first hill.

5. Convert high quality video content into regional languages. Let this be a public exercise.

6. Make Khan academy vidoes accessible to kids in easy to understand and fun to learn local languages (with pictures etc ...)

7. Increase number of pictures in text books.

8. there are some more suggestions like SOLE
(on Ted) self organized learning ...

noble work indeed from Rohini & Nandan Co.
by Raghavendra Bhat on Aug 24, 2015 10:14 PM

Real inspirational work from Rohini and Nandan in starting EkStep. The hurdle is the access cost, if this duo are going to mindlessly put in proprietary infrastructure systems. The entire platform should be based on GNU/Linux/free software, for all delivery processes. If not it would slowly creep into one big mess!
