The India Literacy Project, an organization that supports education and literacy projects around the country, teamed up with Google Maps and Google Earth to create interactive learning tools for children in rural India.
In classrooms, children use photos, videos, and 360 images taken by Local Guides to virtually visit the monuments, museums, and historical landmarks they are learning about. This is just one of the many ways Local Guides like you are making a positive impact on people around the world.
Learn more about this mission in the video below and keep adding photos to show others great places near you.

Here I would like to share a few things about an Indian literacy project.
Firstly, I’m proud to be an Indian, and being a part of literacy project. It’s my voice to all the local guides, the people who asked what will they get by contributing to google maps. Now, the answer will be, Giving a bright future to the coming up young generation is a big achievement for us. Each of our contribution is helpful the children, teachers, learners, Researcher and many others. It’s digital India now.
There is much difference in teaching on board vs teaching digitally. Google maps, photo spheres, photos, reviews are helpful to the students to understand in a better way, and to the teachers to teach them in a easier way.
And please continue contributing to the world. Each of your contribution will be recognized.
I find this initiative to be really interesting and useful for the children!
I would love to know more about it.
Information such as:
Which cities/ towns/ villages in India have got the Multi Dimensional Learning Space installed at schools.
If any of the local guides can visit those schools and add a picture on Google and let more people know about it.
If someone from ILP would like to share more details about the future of this initiative through Local Guide Connect or through a web conference on Google Duo, may be.
Can or are they able to use internet/Google search for further research on the similar study material
Are they going back to their books for further study and academic exams
Basically, I would like to learn or talk about the on-going and near-future results of this program.

eing Teacher in the past i can help the childrens in the rural inida
This is a great initiative. I believe other regions of the world with similar challenge can adopt the same method. As local guides, it is salient for us to remember the words of Gaylord Nelson-
*“The ultimate test of man’s conscience may be his willingness to sacrifice something today for future generations whose words of thanks will not be heard”* This maybe the opportunity!
Being an indian this teaching thing for rural indian children will be very helpful and helpful for every other rural people who will know about this education purpose
I would love to participate if you feel 360 photos of monuments in Washington D.C. would be helpful. I have done a couple but this will push me to do more. Thanks - Nick

I am a teacher. So being a part of local guide, if I can help at least one student by giving helpful information in review, images, videos,360 photos, then I am proud to be a Local Guide. Also I am an Indian.
So also be an Indian I always try to help the students.

Get inspired by the India Literacy
The India Literacy Project teamed up with Google Earth to help teach children
first of all Congratulations on your new initiative for the indian literacy.
i like travelling and mostly travel at different places.
so i think it would be very proud for me to contribute for this project. I can share this kind of information because i travel mostly rural places of india.
I have seen many rural schools where this kind of facility is not available, which is available in urban schools.
And your project will be very beneficial for these kind of children.
I would like to know more information about this project where i could share my experience and talk about the future results of this program.
Belle initiative. Je salue presonnellemper cette merveilleuse et ingénieuse idée, et pour être tout à fait franc je crois cette initiative ne sera pas seulement utile pour les habitants de l’Inde mais le sera pour tout un chacun de nous.
Je termine par vous dire que je suis disposé à participer à ce projet.
Thank for the post @JuanCh . great to hear that Google maps and Google earth has taken initiative to creat an impact on ilteracy, which is one of the lagging factor in india, being more populated country. Such events make us to contribute more on maps as it’s indirectly helping to improve my country!!!
Thanks - Nick
