firmly guided by the philosophy of “kurvanto vishwam aaryaayam”,
a sanskrit quote that means "let the whole world become noble!".
Eduladder Is founded with the strong vision of transforming the
least privileged last human being on
this planet earth to realize their fullest potential our aim is to ensure that
every individual is able, with ease to achieve the very purpose they wish to achieve.

endeavours
To do this we believe tradition must
go hand in hand with technology, and this we have set out to accomplish with
our eduladder programme

Moving from 'taking money for making money' to 'take and give' is our objective. We intented to design a common database of notes and study materials which can be editable by every one and an open library which helps you to list the books you have and allow you to easily exchange what you no longer need with those in need of this material This work is licensed under creative common attribution- to make sure it is 'copyleft'.

FAQ
A) Why Eduladder?
Eduladder came into existence because we believe that education should be free and accessible to all. Our first aim is to reduce the cost of education.
Most
students have to spend to spend around 450 rs on every text book that is
needed. This could cost 3600 rs a
semester.
A four year graduation program costs 28800 rs
in total. A note taken from our open learning system on any subject can be
copied to paper and will cost 30 ps (present bulk xerox charge) for each page.
A particular note (book) around 200 pages which can be made as a zerox for 60
rs, a semester 480 rs, yearly 3840 rs.
This means that the project will benefit each student by saving 24960 rs
on text books alone. Saving around 86.5% of the total cost needed for
textbooks!
B)Libraries exist for this, so why a web-based system?
Libraries are there; but they can't provide full access to students and are limited. At Eduladder, students can attach their material to their profile more easily, than from a college library where the materials are always changing. Besides this, we act as a social network platform.
C)Why is Eduladder using creative commons' licence - Why are we adopting an
open source philosophy?
We believe in the ideology practised by the masterminds of ancient India - 'education should be free and accessible for every one'. Previous years only the educational contents were licenced. So we are eliminating that licence system by a creative commons' licence enabling the students to have freedom to remix and reuse. Nobody can use these contents for commercial purposes.
