Yesterday we were fortunate to be invited to talk to Jimmy Wales and Sue Gardner about the work we are doing here at Pratham Books in relation to open content and as Mark Charmer wrote, “Creating meaningful participation in India.”
There were also presentations by teams from:
- Arghyam: Our mission is “Enough water, safe water ….. always and for all”.
- eGovernments Foundation: A not-for-profit trust that was founded with a goal of creating an eGovernance system to improve the functioning of City Municipalities leading to better delivery of services to their citizens.
- Akvo: Akvo is like a Wikipedia, eBay and YouTube for water and sanitation projects, rolled into one. [They have a blog post up too…]
- Akshara and the Karnataka Learning Partnership: Every child in school and learning well.
and of course, us, Pratham Books.
