The United Nation’s-funded Global
e-Schools and Communities Initiative (GeSCI)
signed a Memorandum of Understanding
with Rajasthan to e-enable its
education system. The other partners,
the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII)
and World Economic Forum (WEF) joined
in the Rajasthan Education Initiative
aiming to include more than 100,000
schools into ongoing programs. Project
GRACE (Girls of Rajasthan and Computer
Education), District Computer Centers,
departmental computerization, and
EDUSAT (satellite based teacher
training) are the programs that they
will bring to the schools and
community. According to Government of
Rajasthan, the state has quietly
doubled its literacy over the decade
to an overall 61% with women at 44%
and men 76%.
