sustainable and learner-centric quality education, skill up gradation
and training to all by using innovative technologies and

recommend such initiatives to foster growth of education. We believe
Ovi Life Tools is a perfect platform which can accelerate the
education growth in India. Together with Nokia, we aim to reach out
to individuals who believe in growth through education.” As the
first step, the two organisations will pilot a Certificate Programme
in Functional English (CFE) on Ovi Life Tools in focus districts in
Maharashtra, for six months (Jan to Jun 2011), As a part of the
pilot, Nokia will make available IGNOU admission forms with Nokia
phones supporting Ovi Life Tools. The enrolled students besides
receiving the study material and related support from IGNOU will also
receive daily learning content via Ovi Life Tools services as a
'Study aid and Reinforcer' thus enabling a more seamless learning. On
completion of the program they get certificates from IGNOU. Post
pilot, Nokia and IGNOU will jointly assimilate the learnings from the
pilot project and extend it further to mutually agreed programs of
IGNOU.
