Planning and Implementation of Knowledge Grid in Indian Context

There is a general opinion that providing internet access to colleges will result in the delivery of better quality education to greater numbers of students. But this expectation is not realized in practice. In academic institutions more number of students are wasting time on accessing email and browsing irrelevant sites. It reduces the quality of education because most of them are confused by using the pool of unstructured information on the web. In this context, Knowledge Grid is a well structured framework that takes inputs from number of domain experts. The said prototype model in this paper attempts to take up the challenges of appropriate use of IT infrastructure in the field of education using a knowledge enabling approach.
