ELEVENTH PLAN VISION

“We also need to ensure that growth is widely spread so that its benefits, in terms of income and employment, are adequately

shared by poor and weaker sections of our society especially the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes

and the minorities. … It must generate sufficient volumes of high quality employment to provide the means for uplift of large numbers of our population from the low income low quality

occupations in which too many of them have been traditionally locked.”

Countrywide Classroom

With the intent of overcoming some of these obstacles to knowledge and learning, the University Grants Commission initiated a unique Educational Television Experiment. Operationalisation of the Indian National Satellite (INSAT) series and the National TV Network in 1982, provided students with a ringside seat to view the latest developments in any field. UGC began its transmission of Countrywide Classroom (CWCR) from 15th August, 1984. Telecast twice a day for the past twelve years through Doordarshan's National Network, CWCR has created a niche audience of youth and adults in cities, small towns and remote areas devoid of adequate educational facilities.

Computer is ubiquitous and so is the network, be it internet or LAN. The idea of utilizing the network for assessment is not new, but the recent advances in technology has made this option easier than ever. Features like instant results, complete control, security, rules and detailed reports reduces the assessment cycle time. This also takes away some of the accompanied adminstrative and logistic pain.
