This paper targets individuals and organizations engaged in providing ICT literacy education. It offers an analysis of ICT usage in Asia-Pacific countries and defines measures for promoting ICT literacy development in the region. There is almost universal acceptance that information and communication technologies (ICT) are good for development. These technologies, most particularly those that are Internet-connected, increase access through distance learning, enable a knowledge network for students, train teachers, broaden the availability of quality education materials and enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of educational administration policy. Educational systems, both formal and non-formal, are powerful social institutions infused with the mission of developing desirable values among the public – and especially among the youth. Thus, they must be most sensitised to ICT potential dangers and be proactive in addressing them. ICT literacy education provides an appropriate venue for this. Moreover, given that there is continuous development of ICT and the people who use them, so should there also be continual assessment of ICT education and curricula by the educational systems/institutions that offer them. In a world where information and knowledge are currency, governments aspire to develop their countries as optimised knowledge societies. In order to address these issues UNESCO's Office in Bangkok commissioned this paper, which is now published in electronic format. It provides, in its first section, a situational analysis of ICT usage in the Asia-Pacific region, both to examine current dominant thrusts in ICT literacy education and to serve as background for the strategy framework. The second section details this framework. It defines goals, objectives, and approaches, as well as discusses conceptual and operational measures for promoting ICT literacy development throughout the Asia-Pacific region. By so doing, this paper helps contribute to Asia Pacific Information Network (APIN) ICT literacy programming efforts.

Library professionals can download bibliographic records of books according to ISO 2709 format from the union catalogue of the Centre , which contains holdings of major university libraries in India. The Centre has opened the facility to download searched or matched records according to MARC21, ASCII and CCF. In order to make use of this facility, you may visit our site at http://www.inflibnet.ac.in or http://202.141.12.214:8080/unicat/book.jsp . SOUL users can directly import ISO files in to their local database and update the local fields (Accession no).

Cybrarian - is a next generation web based, seamless & fully integrated Library Management software System hosted on a Remote Server. This is based on SaaS (Software as a Service) concept where users have to pay-as-you-use basis. Cybrarian was launched during LIBRARIANR Users Meet held in the city on 26th July'08. A group of librarians across the country, who are active users of LIBRARIANR - a Library Management Software, assembles once in a year to share & discuss their problems & experience with the Library Management software. The experience of each librarian is unique and they come out with new ideas to improve & to add new features to the software to make it more functional, user friendly & effective, the company announced today. "Cybrarian allows the librarians to access & run the software with the help of an ordinary low cost PC having a web browser and they can carry out on line all the transactions like Acquisition, Cataloguing, Circulation, Periodicals Management (PMS), Article Indexing, Reports Management etc. as if the entire application is running on their desk," said Suyash K., the company's Chief Executive Officer, CR2. "One can access the application anytime (24x7x365) from anywhere, & from any machine with built in webOPAC facility in the software. At a very low hosting fee, Cybrarian provides users facilities like Software Usage, Secured Data Storage & Management, Virus Protection, Backups, Patch Management, Product Updates, Technical Support, Maintenance etc. Cybrarian follows all the international standards like MARC21, Z39.50, AACR2, MARCXML, ISO 2079 etc. and is having UNICODE (Multilingual) facility. The most attractive feature of Cybrarian is that librarians or Resource Centre Manager can customize the application as per their requirements without the help or need from the software vendor. Moreover, the reports can also be self-customized." "Cybrarian also allows the member libraries to form or create their own network of libraries from similar related subjects / background / industries for resource sharing by collecting, storing & disseminating information and would offer networked services like information about resources scattered in the libraries throughout the world, referencing materials to meet the requirements of students, researchers, scholars & the general public, Inter Library Loan etc. without incurring any extra cost, " said Sohaon K., Chief Operating Officer of the company. "Cybrarian is the result of 10+ man years of research & development and helps libraries to reduce their OPEX by 80-90%. SaaS is a new model for delivery of software over internet. It is a shift from packaged software to Software as a Service (SaaS). In this new model, the user is saved from the hassles of buying licensed copies of software like OS, R/DBMS, Application Software, Anti virus etc. They are also not required to buy costly hardware like Servers, PCs, Networking components etc. The user is also free from the daily problems of installation, management, maintenance, back up, security etc. Initial cost of Investment and recurring cost every month is as good as nil. The recruitment of expert IT professionals can also be avoided. According to Gartner, the SaaS opportunity globally is estimated to be around $19.1 billion by 2011. McKinsey reports that the proportion of CIOs considering adoption SaaS applications in the coming year has gone from 38% a year to 61%. By 2010, at least 65 percent of all businesses will have deployed at least one SaaS application. According to Springboard Research, the Market for SaaS in India is expected to touch US$ 165 Million by 2010 (over Rs 700 Crores). About CR2 Technologies Ltd. CR2 Technologies Ltd. (www.cr2.in) is a new start up company established in the year 2007. The company is engaged in designing & development of software products for different application areas.

For example each member is required to upload documents for internal communication onto the system but up to now most members have not done so. And instead are using the old system of sending them as email attachments. I therefore ask for your ideas on how to enhance usage of this system.

Users can now search a richer collection of education-focused literature while taking advantage of improvements that speed information discovery on the public ERIC Web site. In addition, a new area just for librarians includes useful information for patron support and collection maintenance. New Journals in ERIC As of June 30, 2008, ERIC has added more than 3,600 new records from newly acquired journals. Work is underway to increase coverage even further by seeking additional partnerships with publishers of both journal and non-journal literature. New journals are indexed from 2004 forward, except for titles indexed prior to ERICs 2004 transition to an all-electronic service. Once recent titles have been acquired and indexed, ERIC will acquire 2002-2003 electronic back issues of previously indexed titles to prevent gaps in journal coverage. The ERIC Team would like to give special thanks to all members of the library community who have collaborated with ERIC to make the acquisition of new resources a reality. If you would like to recommend an education-related title or potential source for grey literature for inclusion in ERIC, go to "For Librarians" on the ERIC Web site and submit your suggestion using the link provided under Getting Involved. Redesigned Web Site ERIC released a redesigned Web site (http://www.eric.ed.gov) on August 3. Highlights include: A major restructuring features clearer, more intuitive paths to information, making the site easier to use. A completely new and expanded Help section that includes brief tutorials, a glossary, and a searchable index. Help tools have been integrated into the ERIC Web site. How do I links and help tips on key fields and features provide direct access to information that helps you take advantage of ERICs robust search tools and submit documents. A new section, "For Librarians", consolidates information of interest to the library community into a single location. This area includes flyers, brochures, lists of ERIC microfiche, links to frequently used help topics, and other relevant information, including ways to provide feedback about ERIC. Lighter visual design, so pages load faster and new graphics refresh the site while retaining ERICs look and feel.

It is available at http://library.actrec.gov.in:8080. The Web Content Management System (CMS or Web CMS) is designed and developed by using open source code software - Joomla 1.5.3 by two young Engineers (BITS, Goa) Mr Abhimanyu and Mr Arjun as a small project. The WCMS is used to manage and control a large, dynamic collection of Web material (HTML documents and their associated images). It facilitates document control, editing, and timeline management. A WCMS typically requires an experienced coder to install and add features at the beginning. But when it is installed and hosted on a server a non technical person can administer the contents of entire modules with ease and comfort. "Chromatophore" template (http://www.rockettheme.com) has been used for the design, style and to have a professional look. Colour chooser on top of the site a special feature will give an option for the end user to change colour scheme of site.

LimSys is currently available in three versions "LimSys Prof." Multi-Lingual Single User & LAN Version (Multi User) on Windows and LimSys Enterprise is a Web enabled Software. LimSys Prof. Multi User can be integrated with MSDE 2000, to make LimSys Prof. a True Multi-user Software where the Client can not afford to have any RDBMS such as MS SQL or Oracle, which is a compulsion for other Library Automation Software.

Oxford Journals will be publishing the three GSA journals from 2009. First published as one journal in 1946, *The Journal of Gerontology* was the first journal on ageing to be published in the United States. Over the years, the journal grew tremendously and, in 1961, became three separate publications ( *Series A Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences*, *Series B Psychological Sciences and Social Sciences*, and *The Gerontologist*). *The Journals of Gerontology*, *Series A and Series B*, cover a broad range of approaches. *The Gerontologist *is a bimonthly journal that provides a multidisciplinary perspective on human ageing through the publication of research and analysis in gerontology, including social policy, program development, and service delivery. Both readers and librarians will be pleased to know that Oxford Journals is digitizing the back archive of *The Gerontologist *and *The Journals of Gerontology*. Content dating back to volume one, issue one will be included in the Oxford Journals Archive in 2009. *The Gerontologist *and *The Journals of Gerontology* join Oxford Journals' prestigious collection of journals which is strong in social sciences, medicine, biological sciences, and public health, and includes complementary titles in the field of ageing. According to the recent 2007 Journal Citation Reports, one fifth of this collection is in the top 10% and over two thirds in the top 50% of their subject category. Oxford Journals , a Division of OUP, publishes over 220 journals covering a broad range of subject areas, two-thirds of which are published in collaboration with learned societies and other international organizations. The collection contains some of the world's most prestigious titles, including *Nucleic Acids Research*, *JNCI*( *Journal of the National Cancer Institute*), *Brain*, *Human Reproduction*, *English Historical Review*, and the *Review of Financial Studies*.

Firstly, the morning celebrations began with an invigorating PowerPoint and Web-based lecture by Dr M Krishnamurthy, University Librarian on the works and history of (Late) Dr S R Ranganathan. The lecture was interspersed with interesting pictures on the works of Dr SRR. A very captivating video documentary on Dr SRR kept the audience spell-bound. Interestingly, MYDLIS had more than one reason to celebrate!!! What could be a more befitting and worthy tribute to salute Dr SRR, the father of Indian Library Science by the Department of Library and Information Science, Univ. Mysore, than by awarding a Ph.D. Degree to Mr K S Dinesh (Asst. Librarian, Nagarjuna College of Engineering, Devanahalli) under the esteemed guidance of Dr Khaiser Nikam, (MBA, MLIS, Ph.D.), Chairperson, DOS, LIS, University of Mysore. The doctoral thesis was on – “Strategic management of Engineering College Libraries in Karnataka: a study”. The latter half of the programme was followed by a vibrant open-house Viva-Voce defence of Sri K S Dinesh ably attended by the library science faculty members and students of the library science department. The programme concluded with words of congratulations by Prof. V G Talawar, Board of Studies Chairman, and the other library science faculty members on the good doctoral work carried out by Mr K S Dinesh under Dr Khaiser Nikam.

The previous India R&D Conferences held on the themes "India as World's Knowledge Hub of the Future" (2005), "Commercialization of Innovation: Mind to Market" (2006) and "Innovation - Advantage India" (2007) met with incredible success in terms of sensitizing the industry, R&D institutes and investors on various issues influencing the growth of India's Science and Technology. Carrying forward its earnest efforts, FICCI is now holding a series of India R&D Conferences with sectoral focus to allow formulation of sector-specific action plans and recommendations for industry, investors and policy makers. The first Conference in the Series "India R & D 2008: Nanotechnology – The Science of the Future" has been scheduled on 5th September 2008 at FICCI, New Delhi. Through this Conference, FICCI aims to generate an environment of informed enthusiasm amongst various stakeholders, especially industry players. Nanotechnology has the potential to address various concerns of humanity by providing comprehensive solutions for sustainable development (such as drug delivery, water remediation, agricultural productivity, etc.). India acknowledged this importance by setting up Nano Science and Technology Mission and Vision Group to develop national nanotechnology policy which intends to address regulatory, safety, infrastructure & human resource development issues. Indian nanotechnology industry is in its infancy and projected to grow many folds. Thus, considerable fillip is required to increase commercialisation efforts and enthusiasm of the industry.

We urge striking a balance between intellectual property rights and the rights of users to access information from the public domain, particularly information generated from the public sector.      Regarding Theme Two of the conference, which focuses on the freedom of expression:   First, we acknowledge the sovereignty of individual nation states and also emphasize their commitments to international conventions and treaties in promoting an inclusive knowledge society.   Second, we encourage all States in the region to promote the freedom of expression and of information, given that such a freedom has a value in its own right, and also gives effect to other rights, such as access to education, the promotion of human dignity, freedom of religion etc.   Third, we propose that countries in the region explore developing alternative communication models such as independent models and community-based model that complement existing channels, serving to promote greater freedom and information exchange.   Fourth, we encourage further research and international collaboration into the area of freedom of expression and how countries could work together to promote a greater exchange of information and ideas.   Regarding Theme Three of the conference, which focuses on privacy and personal protection:   First, we recognize that there are differing conceptions of privacy across the different nation states and cultures of the region. We also recognize that the protection of an individual’s privacy and security represents a universally desired value.   Second, we believe that all stakeholders should be educated and sensitized to appreciate and take responsibility for issues related to privacy and data protection.   Third, we urge nation states to enact appropriate legislation to protect personal data and privacy, within the context of each country’s domestic environment and in line with international law.   Fourth, we support global efforts to counter cybercrimes, such as child pornography, spam, online scams and other deviant behavior.    ________________________   First Regional Conference for the Asia and Pacific Region on the Ethical Dimensions of the Information Society, 12-14 March 2008, Hanoi , Vietnam .

It has 1 one year BLISc degree programme in comparison to other subjects' 3 years degree programme, it has 1 year MLISc programme in comparison to others subjects 2 years Master Degree Programme. I am being appointed as a Academic Consultant in School of Library and Information Science at Krishna Kanta Handique State Open University, Guwahati (Assam) trying hard to promote the subject of Library and Information Science in the rank of other subjects by equating the programmes. But to justify my points in front of the university authority, I am in need of a strong support from the academicians of Library and Information Science that are distributed all over India. As such I have post this massage. Before producing my own justification, I want to hear from all of you, regarding pitfall and advantages of introducing the following programme. 1. The three Years BLISc programme will be an integrated modular programme in semester system. It will comprise of 24 papers including practical work. The learners, who will successfully complete the first two semesters (1 year), will be awarded Certificate in Library and Information Science (CLIS). The learners, who will complete the first three semesters (1 and half year), will be awarded the Diploma in Library and Information Science and after successfully completion of four semesters (two years), the learner will be awarded the Advanced Diploma in Library and Information Science. Finally, the learners who will successfully complete all the six semesters (three years) will be awarded Bachelor of Library and Information Science (BLISc) degree. 2. The Master of Library and Information Science (MLISc) will be a two years programme consisting of four semesters, just like other subject. I am sure being a LIS professional; you have many things to say about this. Please post your comments over LIS Links: http://lislinks.ning.com/.

Message-ID: <48AD5EDE.21893.4A5B37@localhost> Launch of India Environment Portal National Portal on Environment launched by Sam Pitroda, chair National Knowledge Commission * Portal designed and built by Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), with support from the National Knowledge Commission * A one-stop shop for all information and resources on environment and development. An important step ahead for the environmental movement * Built on open source, to enable flow of easy-to-use information from sources across the country and to make that information available in the public domain * A virtual resource repository of all relevant government information and a common platform for information of government and civil society New Delhi, August 11, 2008: œIf this is the age of environment, then information will be the key to change “ in our lifestyle, in policy and in practice “ and this we have conceived of the India Environment Portal, says Sam Pitroda, chair of the National Knowledge Commission (NKC). The portal, launched today, is a one-stop shop for all that you want to know about environment and development issues. The portal has been initiated by Centre for Science and Environment. œThis is a unique effort as it will provide a collaboration between government and civil society. It is our effort to put government information in the public domain and to build dynamic and networked knowledge-based societies said Pitroda, as he launched the portal at a function in the India Habitat Centre. The portal will source government documents and make them available for public scrutiny. It also provides links to government institutions; and is planning to add names of researchers and institutions, working in environment and most importantly collate information that we can use in our daily lives. The portal is designed for users of environmental information “ from the media to students. To start with, more than 300,000 articles and documents are available to researchers “ from different sources, but all categorised by author and tagged according to subjects and locations. The portal will also have special in-depth sections on subjects like climate change which provide latest news and perspective, œso critical for policy, as Narain puts it, and links to key government and other institutions, NGOs and individual experts. It is being done in a manner in which they can contribute content on the portal. In the first phase of the portal the massive resources of CSE have been made available. It includes the entire archive of the fortnightly magazine, Down To Earth “ roughly 40,000 researched articles. These in-depth articles were earlier available only to subscribers of the magazine.

Mr. Abdul Wahid Khan, (Assistant Director-General, for UNESCO Communication and Information announced the Winning design and Winner for the new global Information Literacy logo at the IFLA Annual Congress in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. Among the 200 designs submitted by 139 artists from 36 countries, the panel of judges selected the winning design by Edgar Luy Pérez (graduate of the Institute of Design of Havana) from Cuba. Pérez's design contains universally recognized symbols: a stylized book with open pages representing learning and a circle of knowledge. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- According to Pérez, "The logo communicates, in a simple way, the human ability to both search and access information, not only through traditional means, but also through the use of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies), as it uses graphic resources known all over the world, such as the book and the circle. The first one symbolizes study, and the second, knowledge and information, which today are made more available through informatics, showing with this that its social aim is to communicate. The book, open and next to the circle, comprises with it a visual metaphor representing those people who have the cognitive tools to reach information in a nimble way, as well as the desire to share this ability." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Logo is available in English, French, Russian and Spanish and is free of charge. Start promoting Information Literacy and the logo, an international symbol of information literacy.

A rose is a rose is a rose. The word science contains both transcendental content, and methodology of the subject. But LIS is not a hard science. Similarly, management is only one part of the professional turf. Need of the hour is to have a discourse on the content, context, conduit, competence, and the format of the LIS domain. It is high time that we bring equity, diversity, quality, flexibility, and consistency in the LIS turf with the job-market. There is need to shift from rote learning to resource-based student-centred learning. We must follow both bottom-up and top-down approach. There is no place for absolute thinking, if we are really looking beyond post-modernism. To me, "Library and Information Studies" or "Library and Knowledge Studies" can be more appropriate umbrella nomenclature.

Although, we have entered in digital world, still LIS Professionals are considered not more than circulation clerk and library is a place where one can get the books or in most sophisticated words INFORMATION. To break the ice, our well conversant LIS Force must be equipped with latest technology. Internet and its peripherals are the essential element of LIS world. Open Access, Virtual Library, Knowledge Repository, E-Resources, Blogging, User Behaviour, Communication Technology and techniques, Cyber law, Intellectual Property Right, Meta Data are most prevailing terms nowadays but they are no- where in LIS curriculum in any level. A fine integration of history and modern technique of LIS is need of the day.

B. Mangla's view. This is the day where people think more about management. It will be very much helpful to those who will be getting the degree or post graduate degree in Library and Information Science. There are Management course on various aspect of production, finance and personnel relate subject. If that kind of management course is being introduced in Library and Information Science, I think those will give the newly degree holders a more value. I am a Library professional in the Industrial Library. Where the most of the higher authority think that Library Science degree is a very cheap degree and it is mostly done by the Ladies only. They don't give proper value to our professional. I feel if the new library information degree holder can get some sort of BLIM (Bachelor of Library and Information Management), Or MLIM (Master of Library and Inforamtion Management) it will also give the so-called industrial head a chance to think better professional status to them. As these people is having an idea that Library and Information Sceince is not a Technical Degree. Best regards, Pradip Das ================================================= Pradip Das. M.

But it would be inappropriate to call Library and information science' discipline 'library and information management' because the former has lost its charm or attractiveness. We are aware that academic institutions till today are offering MSc. in Management Science and MBA (some simultaneously) and there are good reasons to maintain this difference in degree names. Once you call it management it narrows down the focus and tend to concentrate on managerial aspect of the service, e.g. customer serive, sales, brand management, financial administration, so on and so forth. It would be concentrated on the physical management aspect of information provision in a phyical and digital library environment. This creates enormous problems for those who would like to strengthen the research and academics aspects of library and information science. Those are still taught in the classrooms, but are not practiced in the real world by the LIS professionals. What would be recommended at this point of time to change the designation of posts of librarians in academia and non-academic settings, allowing the professionals to go for more specialisations. You have devoted as academician for decades, please undertake appropriate advocacy with UGC in this direction.

Yes, indeed the 'science' in our profession does not stand out clearly for obvious reasons. In our universities, we have LIS departments under the faculty of Arts and Science also. We also notice that every other profession has a clear mandate and a 'professional calling' which is acceptable and respected by everyone. I think with the introduction of IT in libraries the LIS profession has come a long way both in term of skills used by the library staff to deliver information in non-traditional ways, and the paradigm shift in information generation, storage, processing and dissemination itself.

I am also touched by the views of Pradip Das who spoke about the identity crisis for LIS professionals among people. We should give a serious thinking to this issue for uplifting the way we are perceived in the industry & job market. The paradox is that we obtain Library & Information Science degrees from Arts & Commerce colleges in our Universities. I think the bottom line benefit(s) of changing from Library and Information Science to Library and Information Management are that we can attract better inflow of good students to the profession, enhanced self-esteem and the highly deserved 'feel-good-factor' for the young information managers. This is the era of Leadership and the Librarian as a Leader (a Manager with broad perspective, passion, ownership, accountability and a turn for nurturing further leaders), deserves the right nomenclature to enjoy the feel-good-factor and the rightful place & identify in this global workplace/market. I think this as our proactive gesture in catching up with the dynamic changes taking place like in any other profession, in the best interest of our profession, which will be regarded & appreciated by the next generation LIM professionals.

Still the need remains to top it up with a new name suitable with the new areas that are coming up everyday into our field. Even if it is said "what's in a name" but still it remains the most important identity tag for visualising a field at the first encounter, its like an one-like indicative abstract for a field of discipline. So we should choose judiciously and I opt for "Information Studies" like the West or "Information & Knowledge Studies" with the librarians named as Information or "Knowledge Officer", lower level library workers as "Knowledge Worker" Thanks to Prof. Mangla for raising this issue. *As I see from the list appended to the CDC Report, there have been many discussions on the syllabus front, the key players being IATLIS and LIS Dept.s of different universities. I request every one to upload (or if already uploaded, give a link to) those documents to this forum. * ** *Then by some stipulated time, we would go through them, summarize, add/modify upon, and a new syllabus with past knowledge and current trends will emerge.* *For nomenclature, without going into details, let us just name names & where it is used: as for eg,* ** *Information Studies- University of Southhampton ( if possible include their syllabus as an attachment)* Thank you all. *Susmita Chakraborty* Bengal Engineering and Science University (http://www.becs.ac.in), West Bengal, India -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

R. Riswadkar in a lecture at Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics, Pune. However, personally I feel, the change of nomenclature may adversely affect fundamental research on some basic LIS subjects like classification, universe of subjects, information science etc. But in practice, exactly the same is happening throughout the country, so I also feel that the name of the course should be Library and Information Management (or Information and Library Management) whatever it may be.

The valedictory function was graced by Prof Krishna Kumar, the retd. Prof. & HOD, DLIS, University of Delhi and an author of many good books on almost all aspects of LIS, in the capacity of chief guest. He distributed the certificates to the participants and congratulated them for successfully fulfilling all requirements of this rigorous course which shall surely add to their understanding about the current developments in the field of LIS and also increase their levels of competency and commitment to the profession. He made an impassioned appeal to the professionals to make their presence felt in the organization wherever they are working by performing the best service possible with the given resources. He shared the working experience of his time with the participants and remarked about the good fortune of the present generation of librarians for having access to very enabling facilities of ICT. Prof. Zahid Khan of the Dept. of Physic and the Director CIT, JMI who presided the function, informed the gathering about the network topography of Jamia Millia Islamia. He told of his feeling that going through the content of the lectures delivered during the Refresher Course, he feels that it would have also been very beneficial for him. Dr. Ghayas Makhdumi, the ever ebullient coordinator and University Librarian of JMI in his brief address read out the subject-matter covered during the course and remarked that the overwhelming response of the library professionals is not only indicative of the fact that they are ever open and eager to absorb the latest development in LIS but also that the profession of library and information services has bright future in the country. The programme was made lively by soulful rendering of ghazals by Mr M.A. Khan of Tonk (Rajastahan), a poem (geet) by Dr. Srivastava of IIT-Delhi and a joke concerning librarians by Mrs Guliya of Haryana. The participants felt privileged to honour the eminent persons on the dais by presenting bouquets and some gifts as token of their gratitude. However, after attending this Refresher Course, I want to share some of my personal opinion with the library professionals through the gateway of lis-forum: i) the library professional on the verge of retirement may be screened out; ii) while screening the applications for selection, the status of computerization in the participant's organization may be taken as a criteria; iii) the working knowledge of English may be made a compulsory criteria; iv) the resource persons may be requested to make the lecture session a very interactive one having a look out for those participants who appear to be less understanding.
