MKCL- Maharashtra Knowledge Corporation Limited- is a public limited company established in Mumbai by the Government of Maharashtra, India, in August 2001 to create new paradigm in education and development through universalization and integration of Information Technology in teaching, learning and educational management processes in particular and socio-economic transformative processes in general.
MKCL has set forth a transformative agenda in the Indian context wherein Information Technology has created unprecedented wealth for few enterprises in India, however, the masses have been largely deprived of the great developmental potential and the fruits of Information Technology. This Digital Divide is potential threat for development not only of India but also of many other countries in the world.
MKCL is an entrepreneurial endeavor tobridge this Digital Divide and resultant Knowledge Divide by offering actionable knowledge to the masses for socio-economic transformation in emerging knowledge society.
Present global context demands synthesis of a new paradigm of education to address the following challenges simultaneously viz.:
How to offer education to very large populations with various diversities,
- at an affordable cost,
- with a high quality of relevance and applicability in life and work,
- within a shortest possible time,
- with a wide accessibility from metros to villages and,
- in a mass-personalized manner?
MKCL is attempting to address these six challenges simultaneously through the exploitation of IT and help lay the foundations of knowledge society so critical for the survival, development and empowerment of the masses in general and youth in particular
