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,
30 (Classes IX and X) of the 334 NCERT textbooks are already
available. The rest should be up in time!.
http://nroer.gov.in/home/
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
