This approach is the complete contrast with the conventional methods of education and entrepreneurship development but requires the candidates to have ICT literacy and interest in self-improvement. Need and urgency of educating large masses can not be under estimated, when the country is poised for rapid growth. However, even after so many years of hard efforts a significant percentage of child population remains uneducated and high dropout rates even at middle and secondary level educations remains a complex problem along with the fact that ICT literacy and education in a wider sense has not taken root. The recent reports dealing with Seelampur (Delhi) UNESCO inspired project on ICT based education have categorically and convincingly demonstrated, that it can be used to unlock the subject understanding capabilities and entrepreneurship idea generation potentials of the participants, not possible through standard education or distance education methods These new ICT based methods rely on collaborate learning, "ICT Literacy" and use the self organization mechanism for understanding or new knowledge creation. The idea and the technology behind this approach through promising have not been fully understood as yet . Therefore, it is proposed to take up activities in this direction at two different levels as a part of the project proposition. To study evolve and promote the mechanism of "Self Organization" in learning through deconstruction of information through ICT literacy based approach on the web and local enrolment , leading to construction of new domain knowledge and development of participants capabilities towards entrepreneurship. To take up the development of tools and technologies for creating the course work based on the ICT literacy approach for the collaborative and interactive learning environment. To evolve methods of localizing the information, and the introduction of local idioms for the education of ethnic linguistic and gender groups.(This is considered important in ICT based approach of education).
