Pranav, Savithri and all involved with this - congratulations. I saw the Wikimedia mention in Tharoor's speech: awesome.

Now all you need to do is get them to release every government publication, research report, etc. made with taxpayer money publicly :)

Cheers,
-Achal

Hi

Hi,

30  (Classes IX and X) of the 334 NCERT textbooks are already available. The rest should be up in time!.


We need to get more people to contribute to the site by way of images, text, whatever!!

NCERT books are in English, Hindi and Urdu.  We need to get States activated so that they give in their books in the the local languages!!

Congratulations all - its been a long struggle - several of us have been in discussion with educators/NCERT over a long time for materials to go CC By SA - and Pranav's interaction with Shashi Tharoor clinched it!!

:-) Thanks for the update and background to this milestone. Congratulations to yourself, Pranav and  everyone associated with this accomplishment. I hope this can help in convincing similar state government bodies also to release their content under free license.

Cheers
Arjuna
