1) Enlist volunteer educators for careful video-recording of SBS and CBS syllabi in the various major languages of India.
2) Determine the logistics of making these lessons available to rural government schools; this includes finding donors for necessary hardware (e.g. TVs, DVD players, PCs, Projectors etc) needed for making these pre-recorded lessons to teacher-impoverished schools (which are nearly 100% of them!);
3) Perform steps 1) & 2) in a small geographical area (~10 km radius, say)first, then scale it to the taluk, district, state level with the help of the Dept. of Education of the State.
