EABS: Students take social initiative
The Box allows villagers to make a call by simply pressing a button which will connect them to an operator at Open Mind. He can inquire about anything related to farming, trade, market, society, travelling, current affairs etc. and the operator will provide a suitable answer for the same by searching for relevant information over the internet.
The Indian representatives of OMF Dr Nikhil Agarwal, Ashish Thakur, Nishant Agarwal, Ravi Parasrampuria, Project Delivery Members from OMF, Students from EABS and members of local Zilla Parishad were present on the occasion. The Question Box was inaugurated by making a telephone call over it. The proceedings of the event were recorded by Mike Peterson, a documentary film director from the UK, for a documentary film to be aired on BBC and the American Network. More Question Boxes will soon be installed in other villages.
