WHAT CAN BE DONE TO PROVIDE
EDUCATION???
Creating awareness among parents
Setting up of e-libraries
Affiliation of these e-libraries to various institution of
repute and recognition from the various secondary
boards: i.e. CBSE, ICSE , UGC
A] creating awareness among parents
The task of imparting education becomes even more
difficult without the support of the parents. Therefore
, the first and foremost step is to create awareness
among the parents.
Enlighten them with the importance of educationin
one’s life.
Convince them to send their children to school and
not for work
B] setting up of e-libraries
Reduces dependency of students on teachers
Eliminates various problems that continue to plague
our education system
Provides quality education till the higher secondary
level
Boosts their self confidence and esteem which will put
them at par with students of elite institutions
WHAT IS THE E-LIBRARY??
The proposed plan:
Imparting basic knowledge about computers with the
help of qualified professionals or locals
Providing intensive training in use of computers and
related technological equipment, thus making them
well versed with technology
Equipping these modern multipurpose libraries with
computers, projectors and printers
Multi- purpose: books + computers
Use of smart class lessons to learn various important
concepts like basic arithmetic calculations, conversing
in english very essential for use in daily life.
c] AFFILIATION TO VARIOUS INSTITUTIONS
Imparting distant learning to these children and share
their courseware with the children
Providing graduation certificates which are accredited
by the Ministry of education
Conducting regular tests to assess students both at
primary as well as secondary level
One can even obtain degrees/ vocational training
through these libraries
TESTING OF STUDENTS
Creating online accounts for each and every student
which ensures transparency in results to a great extent.
Conducting practical examination of students on
various social topics like environmental awareness and
other social issues like good hygiene , need for
community service etc.
Scores accumulated over the years serve as benchmark
of students performance.

IMPLEMENTATION
Stage 1: advertising the benefits of a technologically driven
education among the poor in rural and urban areas. They have to
be informed of the tremendous potential such a type of
education holds.
Stage 2: procuring of computers , projectors and other
equipments for the functioning of the library, to be provided in
collaboration with IT companies.
Stage 3 : setting up of these a libraries by either procuring land
and building them ideally a size to accommodate up to 1000
students at a time…. Size approximately 7000-10000sq ft. initially
government schools can be upgraded to function as libraries in
many areas before the actual ones are built in many places
Stage 4 : identifying students from BPL families,
enrolling them in these libraries and creating an
account for each student that tracks the students
academic records through the years. Students can even
clear more than 1 class in a year if found to have done
well in tests and examinations
Stage 5 : teachers recruited to provide teaching in
basic computer skills to each and every child so that
students can later on learn through the e-learning.
Stage 6: using computational soft wares, and smart
class learning aids, students learn their academic
curriculum.
Stage 7 : life skills like proper hygiene , etiquettes,
community service to be provided via learning videos
Stage 8 : e-libraries to be linked to the higher
educational universities like the IIT’S , NIT’S to aid in
educational material and course
Stage 9: students clearing class x through these e-libraries to be
provided with at least vocational training for 2-3 months to
ensure good employment.
students pursuing beyond class XII to be provided with job
opportunities .
Stage 10: those pursuing tertiary education can pursue their
diplomas/degrees in a distance learing programme .
Stage 11: ensure students passing out of e-libraries are assured of
employment
Hence, these libraries to be gradually established in areas of
need like BIHAR , CHATTISGARH, UTTAR PRADESH and other
backward areas.
BUDGET ESTIMATES
Let us ideally take the case of a metro city having large
slums like: Delhi & Bombay
There is a huge population below poverty line, not able
to have access to means for study & proper growth.
A detailed case study done working out the
requirement for setting up libraries including tentative
cost to be incurred on initial set up & monthly running
is shown.
ROLE OF STAKEHOLDERS
High cost of such a project has to be borne by public
private partnership
Major educational institutions will be assisting in the
academic materials
IT companies to provide computers, projectors and
other materials at lower rates.
Emphasis will be on low cost equipments which are
still under research i.e.: PCs being developed at around
Rs 5-6k
Major cost still to be borne by government who has to
subsidize as much as possible.
CONCLUSION
education is a dominant factor in the process of
nation-building and national development. Education
has been seen as an instrument for achieving the goals
of unity, political stability, economic progress and
equality of opportunity and for circumventing
situations which may give rise to conflict With good
education the differences between a struggling family
and a healthy family; a broken community and a
developing one, a languishing nation and flourishing
one, council of state and country of state can be sorted
out (bridged). With good education one can control
ones destiny and write and rewrite ones...
