Congratulations to Wikimedia India Chapter, Pranav , Savithri and all those who had been part of this effort.
I want to especially acknowledge the efforts of Pranav Curumsey. who has been putting his heart to this, following up and meeting the Minister Shashi Tharoor. I hope the NCERT textbooks also will be available in CC by SA license soon.
Thank you, all.
Regards Tinu Cherian

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
Hi,<br/><br/>It seems the textbooks will be uploaded on this website as well. So, we've got those coming as well.<br/><br/>Warm regards,<br/>Pradeep<br/><br/>Sent from Yahoo! Mail for iPhone
This is excellent!! Many congratulations for all those behind this. I am very sure that this will trigger other players too and will push the Open Knowledge movement, particularly OER, in India.
Kudos to WMI Chapter, Pranav, Savithri and others who made this happen. I see this as an important sign of maturing Wikimedia movement in India.
Congratulations again! This definitely needs celebration!!
Cheers, Vishnu

"Hi, i was checking our your site http://nroer.in liked the concept hopefully would be contributing to it in near future. at this point the only anomaly i noticed was the site has documents in .docx extension , which is not a true open format , can you try saving the documents in ODF format while saving in Microsoft office .
Once again thanks and keep up the good work! "
