Networked Nepal: Moving toward ‘one e-library per district’
PR
With the objective of achieving the goal of “one e-library per district”, Help Nepal Network (HeNN), in association with other organizations, has been deploying LTSP (Linux Terminal Server Project)-based e-libraries in different parts of Nepal.
Recently, they deployed an LTSP-based e-library at Janata Namuna Higher Secondary School in Biratnagar of Morang district. The donors to the project were HeNN and the family of the late Benu Adhikari who had done his schooling from there.
Likewise, they also installed e-libraries at Tikot Secondary School in Tikot of Myagdi and at Himanchal Higher Secondary School in Nangi of the same district, with donations from Nepal Library Foundation and Canadian Charity Organization. They had technically collaborated with Nepal Wireless Network, looked after by the Magsaysay Award winner Mahabir Pun, for wireless connectivity in these two projects.
All the three above projects had HeNN acting as the project coordinator and were deployed by the team of FOSS Nepal Community.
Earlier, HeNN had doubled as donor and project coordinator when installing an e-library at the Educational Training Center (ETC) in Dhulikhel of Kavre district with assistance from KUOSC (Kathmandu University Open Source Community) team.
HeNN now plans to generate more such projects, especially in underprivileged regions, and team up with likeminded organizations to properly accelerate the same. They aim to establish a training center to train students to build technical resource pools required for such projects as well as to train communities for local support. Their goal is also to provide Internet connectivity to the LTSP network.
