RIVER conducts a Designers' Workshop in Nepal

Team RIVER consisting of Padmanabha & Rama Rao, Raju Asirvadam, Tana Venu and Saidabee landed in Katmandu, Nepal to launch the MGML Designer Workshop over there. The 15 day workshop got off the ground on 01 June 2009. The workshop was being conducted by the Dept of Education, Nepal and was sponsored by ESAT, Nepal. Around 45 persons drawn from different disciplines took part. The participants were divided into separate workgroups and they instantly got down to the business of creating a new methodology of learning for the children of Nepal. The Joint Secretary in the Ministry of Education, Mr Janardhan Nepal, in his encouraging talk, addressed the participants as 'Pioneers of Progress' in this new thrust in education. The participants lived up to that expectations and did create some tangible results which will take primary education in Nepal a long way if diligently implemented.
