Hello Everybody<br><br>On 24th March, <b>OISC</b> (OLPC India Student Chapter) team delivered another presentation at IIT, Roorkee. We had delivered one earlier at IIT on 28th March during their annual technical festival.<br>
<br>This time the students who attended the presentation were members of NSS (National Service Scheme), an organization that works on numerous projects of social service. And the OLPC IIT Roorkee Chapter came into effect. As a part of our continued efforts towards spreading awareness about OLPC, we consider this as a major step forward.<br>
<br>Not just that, a guy from an organization Pratham (<a href="http://www.pratham.org">www.pratham.org</a>) was also present there. Pratham is an organization that is very actively involved in providing primary education to rural areas. It has a presence in about 21 states. OISC is seriously exploring the possibilities of collaborating with Pratham to promote OLPC in India.<br>
<br>Our team also attended the presentation of NSS, IIT Roorkee. It was really great to learn about the activities of NSS. The students of IIT undertook the task of teaching the children of construction workers at IIT campus who were migrated from their homes and could not go to school. And they did it with utmost sincerity throughout the past year. Attending the presentation was really a great experience!<br>
<br>I'll keep updating you about all the developments.<br><br>Gaurav Chachra<br>OLPC India Student Chapter<br>
