Hi Everyone,
Dr M.S. Swaminathan -- father of the Green Revolution in India and named one of the most influential Asians of the century by Time Magazine will officiate at the official launch of the Indian Chapter of WikiEducator. The respected Dr Swaminathan says:
"The launching of the Wikieducator India Chapter is a significant landmark in our goal to achieve “Literacy for All” through Sarva Sikshya Abhiyan. This pioneering initiative of the Commonwealth of Learning based on the principle of open and free access will mark the beginning of a new chapter in integrating e-learning with the traditional Indian educational value of considering knowledge as a common human heritage. I am confident that the launch of Wikieducator in India will accelerate the progress of a literacy and knowledge revolution in the country."
Shri. Jainder Singh IAS, Secretary, Department of Information Technology, Ministry of Communications and Information Technology will also be in attendance for the formal launch of the India Chapter for WikiEducator.
Well done India!!!! You leadership is an inspiration for the rest of us. We hope that we too can "be the change you want to see in the world" (Mahatma Ghandi).
Cheers
Wayne
