Hey,
Well Tharoor Tweeted ;-)
Here is the link of his speech http://tharoor.in/speeches/launch-of-national-repository-of-open-education-r... which mentions that he was lobbied by Wikimedia.
We can assume Wikimedia India lobbied :-) . Kudos to the chapter and everyone involved in it.

Hi folks,
Savithri just gave me some wonderful news. The new National Repository of Open Education Resources has been launched, and Dr. Tharoor, the HRD Minister announced its licensed under CC-BY-SA! http://nroer.in/home/
Iv been following up with Dr. Tharoor and NCERT for about 6 months now, pushing for this. Thanks to Gautam, Tinu, Savithri, Dr. Nagarjuna and everyone else who helped make this happen. It is certainly a major win for us as a chapter to be a part of this and a major win for OER in India.
-- Kind Regards, Pranav Curumsey
Thanks Pranav for sharing.
