Development of materials
Illustrated literature in Indian languages, audio and video programs for children and about children have been developed. Video programs for telecast on U.G.C. Country Wide Class Room have also been produced in collaboration with Educational Media Research Center's in University of Pune and Gujarat University, Ahmedabad. Programs for school children have been produced in collaboration with the State Institute of Educational Technology, Pune, and All India Radio, Pune.
