A number of institutions in India are utilizing the services of EDUSAT for educational purposes like imparting curriculum-based education, development of digital course wares, providing professional educational courses, conducting teleconferencing sessions, conducting inter-active orientation/training programmes of teachers and teachers’ educators, and organizing group discussion, lectures, demonstrations, video-shows, training programmes, seminars and capacity building programmes. These initiatives motivate us to think about the possibility of launching a dedicated satellite to meet the health education needs of Afro-Asian nations. .
