Hi All,

I am working with an NGO M S Swaminathan Research
Foundation<http://mssrf.org>who works to provide Information,
Education, Communication and Technology
for Rural India. They also work into other scientific solutions to
Agriculture, Bio-Diversity and Food Security.

They provide basic computer education to students(in vacation time) of some
rural areas of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Orissa and Maharashtra.

They are teaching Microsoft Potential Unlimited Program, Intel Learning
Program and one program designed by Azim Premzi Foundation.

As you know, most of the Indians living in rural areas. Are we, the Linux
community, already doing something, similar to that, in rural areas?

Thanks
Ankit
