Abstract

Lack of civic amenities discourages well qualified teachers to be posted in rural interiors which has perpetuated the dismal conditions of school education in such countries. Keeping in view of Post-2015 Developmental Agenda of United Nations, the issues need immediate redressal. Indian situation is all the more challenging primarily due to its diverse ethnic, linguistic, cultural and geographical variations. Technological advancements have opened exciting new possibilities to link such resource starved regions to urban based centers of excellences. It has created unprecedented opportunities for delivering content, train teachers and utilize the rich tacit knowledge of the rural teachers. This chapter reviews the relevance of satellite technologies within the context of developing countries, identifies the issues for sustenance of such interventions and evolves new perspectives for pursuits of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The discussions are based on the experiences gained by the authors in the process of planning and monitoring of a major satellite supported project in India.
