TheIndia 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

Kids in India are Learning with #GoogleEarth & #LocalGuides 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!!!!!
Hi @JuanCh and Friends, I hope you will enjoy these photos I've shared of Shingcha Valley of Flowers located outside Ukhrul Manipur in Northeast India: https://goo.gl/maps/6Xc5rYucGCz It includes 360 photo.
This is an amazing step towards advance learing by commonizing the Google earth/Google Maps among the children. If children are not much interested in giaography, google earth will make them passionate unexpectedlly. Happy maping guys!
हाय फ्रेंड्स जैसा की आप सभी गूगल मैप्स गूगल अर्थ के भारतीय ग्रामीण छात्रों के ज्ञान वर्धन हेतु प्रयास का समर्थन कर रहे हैं मुझे भी अत्यंत खुशी है और मेरा भी अपना प्रयास इस कार्य हेतु सदा एवं नियमित रहेगा। यह एक सार्थक एवं सकारात्मक पहल है इसका निश्चित ही एक बड़ा एवं व्यापक प्रभाव पड़ेगा।
I am proud to be an Indian and to be a local guides.I think The India Literacy Project is very valuable project for indian students.And i will try my best for doing it successfully.
The Following picture was taken when me and my friends have gone to a rural school for awaring on Vector Borne Diseases Control Programme at Purulia,West Bengal,India.Me and my friends with a group of indian students.
Google के माध्यम से भारतीय ग्रामीण बच्चों के लिए साक्षरता हेतु जो कार्यक्रम किया जा रहा है वह बहुत ही सराहनीय है। Google ने पाने के बाद से भारतीयों छात्रों को मानचित्र की समझ काफी विकसित हुई है। इस हेतु Google को बहुत-बहुत धन्यवाद।
@JuanCh, this post in particular is more of a feedback mechanism for me - letting me know that my contributions to Google Maps is making impact globally.
TheIndia Literacy Project and many others can only spur me on to doing more on Google Maps - with a sense of fulfilment that I'm impacting the world - positively.
Making good use of technology! We can totally transform our education sector by allowing the younger generation go get a good hold of technology and above all teaching them the benefits of IT and digital skills.
"How your photos can help teach children in India" Children in India are so fast & well informed on the advent of smart phone & the accessibility to internet educationalvideos,Softwares, Applications, on line registerations, purchases, booking, appointmets etc & News site too, so much that they grasp the content so quickly that the elders depend on their children to learn new techniques in any such internet applications, computer management from them. All that is required for the elders is to travel abreast with them so that we do not lag behind.
Still this will not preempt the fact that a dedicated photographer will just not upload a photo but the one that speaks more than an article / review on that with just an appropriate title tagged to that. In my photographs relating to such an important place that should be comprehensible to anyone that views them, I ensure to add multi-lingual title with at least the native languages appended to the title so as to insire the viewer to learn the script they are not used to.
