Welcome. For a quick intro, please see the Initiating mailer.

Still have to put up the actual listing of resources.

I'm looking at bringing in things over and above the standard edu resources. Some guiding thoughts/questions, which can very well be paradoxes:

  1. There is a curiosity to know more about the world beyond one's locality that shouldn't be ignored. The "think global" part is just as important as the "act local" part.
  2. Learning to communicate in English is an important and wanted skill while respecting and honoring the native culture and language too.
  3. If people can achieve things and make a good living for themselves where they are, then they won't be pushed to over-crowded cities.
  4. Can we point people to sustainable ways of material progress and showcase existing solutions which would help prevent damage to the ecology around them.
