Key Ideas

• Pay the People of Dehradun to build a Knowledge Base using micro payments over the cell phone ( $ from Dedicated Tourist Tax, Grants, Advertising, etc)

• Creative Economy and Self Reliant Approach to Education and Development (Eco-tourism, Value added agriculture, Development focused contests, collaborative competition--etc)

• Local/Global “Do It Yourself University: Teaching/Learning Economy: Leveraging Open Education Resources”

• Incubate eCommerce sites hyperlocally: We start with eGyanKendra’s Telecenter network

• Network existing Schools, Telecenters, Libraries, etc to stimulate creativity in all sectors.

The Challenge: To Generate and Aggregate Content from your Network of

Telecenters, Schools, Libraries and CommunitiesEvery Component of the ecology--both virtual and

physical, has economic generating attributes

Content is Geo-located and enhanced through Participative Planning Geographical Information Systems: the sacredness of Place
