| Abstract | Hive computing has gone by many names and has been used for various applications from simple business to complex scientific problems, over the years. In the modern world, Hive Computing and Virtualization have been put in use to accomplish various tasks[1]. The benefit of using the Virtualization technique is that it allows creation of a virtual version like a virtual hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or network resources which is quite compatible with hive computing. Hive computing involves task split-up that can be resolved by a loose federation of resources. The applications deployed under this architecture provide content sharing which enable users to serve content off their personal hard-drives and share files with others, thus representing a growing trend of decentralized content and control. In Botswana, progress in education is taken to be essential for sustainable development, environmental protection, improvement in maternal and child health and participation in democratic social and political processes. Education is also currently becoming the most important contributor to national economic growth of the Nation[2]. The Government is striving by all means to make quality education available to all in the country. This paper discusses the best practices of volunteer hive computing and virtualization techniques that can be applied not only to enhance edification approaches but also to achieve financial viability with other benefits. Furthermore the recommendations will certainly aid the relevant stakeholders to deploy this in the years to come. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
