    Children

    This organization's experiments with child participation in democracy in Kundapur and particularly with the Makkala Panchayats all over Karnataka are in my opinion one of the most imaginative and inspired interventions I have witnessed in India in the field of development in the last two decades. The question I have often asked myself is why this is not replicated across the nation as a transformational programme.

    This organization's experiments with child participation in democracy in Kundapur and particularly with the Makkala Panchayats all over Karnataka are in my opinion one of the most imaginative and inspired interventions I have witnessed in India in the field of development in the last two decades. The question I have often asked myself is why this is not replicated across the nation as a transformational programme. I hope the recognition of the work at CWC implicit in the Nobel nomination for the Peace Prize in 2012-2014 by the Norwegian Parliamentary Committee will provide the impetus for wider adoption of child participation as a fundamental right.

    The Simputer is a low cost portable alternative to PCs, by which the benefits of IT can reach the common man.

    It has a special role in the third world because it ensures that illiteracy is no longer a barrier to handling a computer.

    The key to bridging the digital divide is to have shared devices that permit truly simple and natural user interfaces based on sight, touch and audio.

    The Simputer is a low cost portable alternative to PCs, by which the benefits of IT can reach the common man.

    It has a special role in the third world because it ensures that illiteracy is no longer a barrier to handling a computer.

    The key to bridging the digital divide is to have shared devices that permit truly simple and natural user interfaces based on sight, touch and audio.

    The Simputer meets these demands through a browser for the Information Markup Language (IML). IML has been created to provide a uniform experience to users and to allow rapid development of solutions on any platform.
