educational purposes, was inaugurated by the Union Minister of Human
Resource Development, Sh. Kapil Sibal , on the occasion of the 22nd

Vidya Vani on the World WideWeb is a modern interactive, participatory
and cost effective programme, involving an academic perspective along
with the technical responsibilities of production of audio and video
programmes, which are one of the most important components of the multi

only meets the needs of its learners but is also disabled-friendly, was
also launched on the occasion.

Centre (NIC) with the objective of developing skill-based courses on web
designing in accordance with the guidelines for Indian government
