Although <strong>the</strong> technical and pedagogic features are impressive, <strong>the</strong> usage<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> web version <strong>of</strong> LILA has so far been limited. As per <strong>the</strong> data available<br />
with us, <strong>the</strong> total number <strong>of</strong> users registered for LILA Prabodh, Praveen and<br />
Pragya was 26,603 as on December 3, 2007 (see Table-IV). Compared to<br />
this, <strong>the</strong> regular Hindi language teaching schemes (including<br />
correspondence courses) were able to train about 30,000 employees in one<br />
year (2006-07) alone.<br />
