My blogger-photographer friend Chitra Aiyer in Bangalore is involved with a project called Zeeksha. They are now looking for more contributors and participants. I am posting here the information she has shared with me. Do hop over and see if you can be a part of this interesting and extremely useful website.

Zeeksha.com is a site to find and share experiences about various schools and pre-schools in Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad and Pune. It was started by a group of parents who were seeking to find quality information on the internet about schools in their cities.
From the Zeeksha team …. “It started with us trying to get our kids admitted to school. Though we were reasonably clear on our choice of schools, we wanted to get some background information about them in order to better educate ourselves of the schools. Quite surprisingly, we could not find any decent information out there – more importantly – information from the “user community”.
Not so surprisingly, there were others who were looking for similar information. Hence a few of us got together and decided to launch Zeeksha – a place where you can get information about schools and share thoughts and experiences in order to help others. Zeeksha users have the ability to add schools (if they are not listed) and are also encouraged to share their thoughts and experiences about the schools. We would ideally like “first hand” information – because that is more reliable and useful. We hope that Zeeksha will be useful to parents who are seeking school/education information.
