Evaluation of Plan Schemes of the Department of Official Language

The packages also provide grammatical notes, interactive exercises and
self-evaluation tests with markings. The system requirements are a Pentium
IV, 1 GHz with multi-media kit, internet connectivity of at least 56 kbps and
Flash Player 6.0 or higher. The stand-alone kit also allows the user to
practice the writing of alphabets. The packages are entirely based on the
syllabi of the Central Hindi Teaching modules. In this way they provide an
impressive alternative to classroom learning and can be paced as per the
learner’s requirements.
Although the technical and pedagogic features are impressive, the usage
of the web version of LILA has so far been limited. As per the data available
with us, the total number of users registered for LILA Prabodh, Praveen and
Pragya was 26,603 as on December 3, 2007 (see Table-IV). Compared to
this, the regular Hindi language teaching schemes (including
correspondence courses) were able to train about 30,000 employees in one
year (2006-07) alone.
