SMS, Lucknow is a Resource Center of Spoken Tutorial Project IIT-Bombay

The Spoken Tutorial project is the initiative of the “Talk to a Teacher“ project of the National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology, launched by MHRD, Govt of India.

Here you will find a variety of Spoken Tutorials on various Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) in various Indian regional languages.

Learning is more effective when animation and narration are presented simultaneously. Audio-video demonstrations can illustrate features with maximum clarity. Our objective is to pass on the knowledge of technology and free and open source software (FOSS) through the website to the millions in our country who lack opportunities and/or access to learn any software. 
Some reasons for these gaps in access are-

1. Lack of knowledge about accessibility

2. Lack of proper guidance

3. Lack of infrastructure facilities available

4. Difficulty in understanding English

The spoken Tutorial Project aims to make spoken tutorials on FOSS available in several Indian languages, for the learner to be able to learn in the language he/she is comfortable in. Our goal is to enable the use of spoken tutorials to teach in any Indian language, and to be taught to learners of all levels of expertise- Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced

This project is for the community and by the community.  Through the portal, we aim to reach out to like-minded individuals to collaborate with us and with each other to create Spoken Tutorials.  The next step is to get each Spoken Tutorial dubbed into as many Indian languages as possible.  This will help anyone anywhere to understand the contents of the Spoken Tutorials.  Each of the Tutorials, whether original or dubbed, go through a strict review procedure, after which they are uploaded on the public domain.  This is to ensure that the highest possible quality is attained. 

The target group is the community at large, including school children, college students, working professionals, retired professionals, housewives, teachers, trainers, research scholars, software users and developers.   We aim to reach out to all the people in India through this portal. 

We also conduct workshops using Spoken Tutorials and give certificates to those who pass an online test.

A national level seminar on “Education and Employment: Role of Skill development”

A national level seminar on “Education and Employment: Role of Skill development” was organized in the campus of School of Management Sciences, Lucknow in association with Association of Knowledge Workers, Lucknow (AKWL), JNPG College and CMC on 4h May 2013. This seminar was inaugurated by Shri. Jintin Prasada, Hon’ble Minister of State–Human Resource Development, Government of India.

Galaxy of luminaries from academia including more than 25 principals and faculty members and senior executives from corporate like Intel, Microsoft, IBM and Eldeco were part of more than 100 delegates for the seminar.

Speaking on this occasion Mr. Jintin Prasada, Hon’ble Minister of State–Human Resource Development, Government of India said “India has set a target of skilling 500 million people by 2022. As the proportion of working age group of 15-59 years will be increasing steadily, India has the advantage of “demographic dividend. Harnessing the demographic dividend through appropriate skill development, efforts would provide an opportunity to achieve inclusion and productivity within the country and also a reduction in the global skill shortages.”

Mr. Prasada also added that large scale skill development is thus an imminent imperative. Major challenge of skill development initiatives is also to address the needs of huge population by providing skills in order to make them employable and help them secure decent work. The emphasis must be on skill development.

Dr. Ashok Ganguly, Former Chairman, CBSE, added to Mr. Jintin Prasada’s view and said ‟ Skill development for persons working in the unorganized sector is a key strategy in that direction. This will also inculcate dignity of labour and create greater awareness towards environmental safety and health concerns. Planned development of skills must be underpinned by a policy, which is both comprehensive as well as national in character.”

Mr. V.N. Mishra, IPS(Retd.) Reiterated that our country is poised at a moment in history when a much brighter future for its entire people is within its reach. Skill development will help actualize this potential. Development and articulation of a national policy on skill development is a matter of priority along with education and employment.
