Problem Statement
India
Effective Literacy: Below 50%
Knowledge of Functional English: Below 20% of the population
Income Tax Payers as a proportion of total registered population: 5.24%
What hampers economic advancement ?
Most knowledge resources in English
Most knowledge resources in print
Google and Wikipedia need both literacy and a working internet connection
For the Blind: Falling braille literacy
Braille is bulky and cannot be refreshed easily.
A VI person not in or affiliated to an institution gets little access to knowledge.
Objective of CLABIL
Make audio books freely available to the blind in particular and the
print disabled in general
Inculcate an early reading habit among the beneficiaries, and
ensure that they do not lose the competitive edge gained by the
additional childhood reading
Generate on-demand content to enrich the lives of beneficiaries
To make study material like case studies, solved question papers
available to the blind in order to help them pursue a career of their
choice
Not letting blindness or lack of formal education hinder learning and
broadening horizons of the mind.
Solution Design: What CLABIL stands for
Central •Online •Accessible to All •No Sign up Required •Can access using mobile phone and data connection•Very limited computer knowledge required .
Library •Keeps getting updated •Only literary and academic content. No songs and entertainment. •Aggregator with all other sites that offer audio content in Indian languages. •Demand Based Content•All content downloadable – no need to eat up internet time.•Mp3 format ensures even the cheapest player can be used.
Audio Books •Scalable •Does not assume literacy •Braille not required in every language the person needs knowledge resources in.•Can be quickly refreshed.•Volunteers only need to know spoken language, not the script. •Volunteers can record from anywhere – including their homes, and upload.
Indian Languages •Mountain goes to Mohammed –Knowledge and life skills in the first language of the recipient. •Can reach rural areas, slum children and older people who may not be English fluent or even literate. •All over the world, no country has tried to create a database of knowledge resources in its native language for non literate populations. Model excellent for BRIC and Africa , which have huge economic disparity because of knowledge and language gap, and corresponding financial growth.
