 Greetings from IIT, Bombay. I must apologize for not being physically present to interact with you, but I am happy that the recording technology permits me to share some of my thoughts with you. First and foremost, let us talk about the clicker application which all of you are going to test. We have long ago realized that the clicker application could be very useful for the teachers to get immediate feedback from their students. Many teachers in IIT, Bombay have already been using this to conduct even two, three quizzes every day in their class. What we would like is to see teachers from all the 300 colleges which are Akash Project Centers to be doing exactly the same thing. For this reason, our team has prepared a version of the application which can be run locally. What it means is you don't require any internet connection, you don't require to be connected to the central model or central database. You can set up everything in your own college and run the clicker application for any class. You will recall that we had suggested that every college should try and teach at least one course using Akash tablets. You may try this out in this semester and you may therefore use the clicker application in your own classes. Please note that the infrastructure in the classroom that you should provide should be checked very thoroughly, particularly for the Wi-Fi connectivity. And also the students participating in the class should be told to charge their batteries of Akash tablets well before they come to the class. We all understand that the battery does not last very long. Incidentally, this is something which will be corrected in the future versions of Akash. You must have read the news that with the success of the Akash project and thanks to help and assistance from all of you, the government has decided to go ahead with the next versions of Akash tablets. The specs for the next version have already been frozen. DGS&D will be floating a tender to possibly get 50 lakh or 1 crore tablets in near future for further expansion. I would also like to touch upon one point where many of the teachers who are assembled here would be concerned with I have received some mails recently and this relates to the Akash Research Fellowship Award contest which I had announced for the participants of our Akash Orientation program. I will frankly share with you some of my problems till March or April it was not very clear whether we will be receiving all the 1 lakh tablets that we had ordered and therefore it was necessary for me to preserve the funding available to make alternate arrangements if necessary. However, thanks to data when they supplied all the 1 lakh tablets and we have distributed them to all the centres, this happened in the month of April and May. Subsequently, there was a long gap of summer vacation and thereafter there was some delay on my part. I would like to assure all participating teachers that the Akash Research Fellowship Award contest is very much on. However, I would like to mention that our perusal and evaluation of the submissions indicates that many submissions are not up to the mark. Instead of depending upon the evaluation done at a centre place I have therefore decided to fall back to the peer evaluation system which I had in fact briefly suggested in the original contest. Accordingly, these submissions will now be evaluated at each remote centres by the peer groups formed by the team leaders of all the submitters. Within about a week's time I will be informing you the details of this peer evaluation process. We hope to complete this process within one month and announce the awards by end of September. I am also going to conduct a meeting through a view of all remote centre coordinators as also all Akash coordinators. Tentatively, we have frozen the dates to be 31st of August for remote centre coordinators and 7th of September for Akash coordinators. These are Saturdays. These will be short meetings for about three hours and they will be conducted through a view that means you don't have to travel anywhere but you have to be present and participate. Again, I will be issuing the notification very shortly. I do not want to take more time. It is important that you understand all the details and integrities of how the setup has to be done and how the quizzes are to be conducted using Akash tablets in your own classrooms by your own teachers. My team has worked well but as you know in all such applications there is always a possibility of further improvement both in functionality and in effectiveness. Please do use the tablets for this purpose. The people who have used it here, my own colleagues have given valuable feedback using which we have been able to make several improvements. I am sure that with your further inputs we will continue to enhance the effectiveness of this application. Thank you very much. All the best.
