- This would be a form of system in which school books would be accessible for all the students in the form of eBooks and can be read on their computers and tablets. Moreover, the books would be customized and selected by the school faculty considering their curriculum.
- These digital books could be read on laptops and tablets and students just have to download their digital book and start reading and using it. In Hindi, Basta means school bag and that is what the entire project is all about.
- There are broadly three stakeholders of eBasta, who would be brought together on eBasta portal, i.e. students, the schools and the publishers.
- Publishers: Publishers, through eBasta would be able to publish their study materials for schools and students by uploading the e-content of the study material. School and teachers would decide what books and chapters would be accessible to their school students. The teachers and school would have all these features within their control panel.
- Schools: Respective schools can browse through the available content and select and compile the required study material in electronic format for their students of different classes. This is how they can organize an eBasta for each class of their school and provide access to their students for them to download and use the electronic content.
- Students: In order to download the curriculum books from eBasta Portal, students just need to download the eBasta app on their tablets or laptops and continue to download their eBooks.
- The course material through eBasta can only be downloaded through the eBasta app. Students would be required to log in to eBasta Portal and download the app as per their system configuration. Through this app, students can download texts, lectures, video and audio files, etc.
