Mysore-based Raman International Institute of Information Technology has come up with a software package – IT Kids – to initiate students as well as teachers into information and communication technology. The package comprises exercises, puzzles, quiz, and crosswords with illustrations. Teachers will also receive a monthly journal to help them keep up with tech-world developments.

The Raman Institute CEO, Mr S V Venkatesh, says their package represented a conceptual change of approach, from being teacher-centric to student-centric.
