LifeLines Education
The LifeLines - Education service was introduced to provide value-added and critical academic support to teachers in remote rural areas for their day to day academic transactions
Through the medium of the telephone, the service links up rural teachers with education experts whom they can access for their subject-matter and pedagogy-related queries; these experts may otherwise be located in different places and may not be as easily accessible
All the queries are answered within 24 - 48 hours
The service offers local language interaction in voice mode
The system also enables the teachers to add to and build on the FAQ information that has been gathered in the LifeLines Education system
It also facilitates direct access of curriculum related knowledge and queries by pupils
