Sir,
Is there anything that can be done to market the OA initiative among
institutions in India ? Is it possible that we are wrong in our approach
each time ? I am talking here about the "Information literacy" competency
of our elite (the educated, of course).
Information literacy has to be inherit in our information policy, which is
so different that the IT policy that is often/always represented, even at
forums like the WSIS. Maybe we can learn a few lessons from the way South
Africa and other south east Asian countries have been doing it.
Thanking you and with regards,

Dear Vijayakumar:
We are talking to the Open Society Institute about the status of India.
For the first time they may make an exception and are likely to provide
partial support to our OA workshops in May.
