| Description | Author affiliation: Village Help for South Sudan, Sudan (Riiny, M.; Moulton, R.) |
| Abstract | Electricity is a rare commodity in the two year old independent country of South Sudan, in fact, less than one percent of the population have access. The use of diesel generators is the norm in urban areas, whereas the rural areas are virtually absent of electricity outside of flashlights, candles, and lamps. Without electricity, rural residents endure personal hardships that are hard to imagine in societies that take reliable and affordable electricity for granted. In South Sudan when it gets dark, students cannot study, shops must close, and essential tasks like cooking must be performed in the dark. Village Help for South Sudan seeks to contribute to the development and advancement of South Sudan by supporting the delivery of electricity to rural off-grid households with no current access to electricity. |

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.
