Hi Friends,

We are pleased to inform you that Open Education India
<http://in.okfn.org/open-education/> now boasts of a large collection of
educational materials in a number of vernacular languages apart from
English (Hindi, Bengaali, Sanskrit, etc.). The list is growing everyday.
Our major aim has been to build up a platform that can be used by students,
educators and readers at the minimum possible rates (*PDFs without pictures*).
We try to consciously keep the number of pictures to a minimum, as that
decreases the cost of making photocopies considerably). This is important
particularly in the context of schools in rural areas.

As the list is growing, so is also the need to find more and more involved
contributors, who can take this project to the next level. We would be
happy to welcome anyone, who is passionate for Open Education. If anybody
wants to contribute content, even in a foreign language, that too is
welcome, as we have in India quite a large number of people, who studies
such languages.

Thanks for your good wishes,
Best,
Subhajit Ganguly,
Open Knowledge India <http://in.okfn.org>
