Lot of thanks to all directly or indirectly concerned with the implementation and progress of edu sat in our needy country.I am running a senior secondary school and want to implement the process in my school.So please help me what to do and where to contact.
Edusat is an outstanding example of exploiting technology in important sectors of development to cover vast tracts of the population. Cell telephones are another example.
The universalization of education among India's billion-plus population, 35 per cent of which is illiterate, is no mean task. Conventional approaches would have taken a massive effort and yet would have been slow and inefficient. ISRO deserves to be congratulated on its pursuit of the Edusat project and the success thereof. India can be proud of its purposeful application of technology.
This Report prompts me to visualize a time when Primary School children of India will be able to receive effective civics education including sanitation and hygiene; community health; traffic rules, regulations and safety; functioning of transportation facilities; national security etc., through the audio-visual medium, provided by the interactive satellite based distance education system.
We are extremely pleased to note the edusat idea and implementation. Our family is starting a education support infrastructure at Talbeed/dist Satara in Maharastra. We are very much interested to know more and set up edusat center at our village for the benefit of children. We already have a building in place.
We will implement the scheme and ceter and report back to you.
Edusat is really a revolution in India. It is going to take India to the next genereation in Education and Training. Hats off to ISRO and A.P.J.Kalalm and other institutions involved in it.
Sounds very interesting and exciting. It is excellent news for all who are interested in educating themselves one way or the other. It is very commendable that this project aims to cover the whole nation. Here in the UK the local schools and colleges are still struggling to set IT inclusive programs. In London VLE sounds like a shot in the dark. COngratulations President Abdul Kalam. And good luck!! Vidjea
Dear Sir, Please let me know that is ISRO offers franchisee for this education course via satellite? if so what are the courses that they offer? With regards Mary 044-52113814
It is an excellent step towards Indian rural education improvement. If it reaches the whole rural villages then definitely we all move a mile. Being the second populated country in the world need to be the second place in world economy too. I found this is the first step in improving our country's wealth. Thanks to those who directly or indirectly contributed to this project. I beg to all our politicians 'please don't use this project for making money for your party',let every body in the country be in the same page and learn more, educate our self to make our country rich.
