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.
It is an excellent news for every learner in india. We hope to connect the country and converse with the people around belonging to our feilds of inquiries .We also know the rich talents lying in our country and satisfy our thurst of knowledge. We thank our President for opening the door of continuos learning.
I grew up in the days of Doordarshan's afternoon transmission of quality UGC programs. They were real quality pragrams with only a few rukawat ke liye khed hai.
We now have whiteboards with colored markers replacing the chalk and blackboards for the privileged ones. The launch of virtual classes through Edusat in elementary education would level this disparity in education.
Regular schools could also merge their curriculum with the edusat session by making their working days to 5-day a week and Saturdays being dedicated to kids learning from home thru the edusat. Edusat programs could also dedicate their Saturdays session to school kids and take up sessions that would assist the kids in their regular curriculum this could go a long way in integrating the schools across the country.
Government should ensure that all schools that come under the MPs Constituency has the required infrastructure for edusat education they can use MP's fund for this effort.
UGC, IGNOU and Doordarshan have been pioneer in the spread to education in the country now with the availabily of service like edusat more NGOs and Private institutions should participate in the evangelism.
Wow! This is path breaking stuff, using technology to deliver education acroos the country! The concept is great, the technology has been delivered. I do hope and pray that the 'content' and the 'execution' will be world class and path-breaking too!

Thanks to President Abdul Kalam for taking initiative in installing EDUSAT.
These educational programs should be available (free)on separate Educational channel on TV. This channel shall run on sponsorship of various big organisations whose turnover is beyond certain limit rather than collecting separate education cess from common man.
These lectures/articles should be also available on internet where data can be preserved. Many retired professionals will be ready to contribute from their residence.
Further number of prizes should be alloted on Quiz related to any kind of education which government want to spread.
We congratulate Kerala State Govt for starting this revolutioned education. Now other states must start this activity.The central government should give time bound targets for implementing this.
This tool will be very useful in implementing Disaster Management.
