Summer internships in India with Digital Green (Microsoft Research)

[Peter Matthews]

See http://www.digitalgreen.org/

This is a relatively new NPO offshoot of an attempt by Microsoft to extend the practical use of digital technology into rural communities in India.

Although it is not explained below, I am sure they also need people with both English and local-language knowledge and good communication abilities. The kind of agricultural extension work being conducted by Digital Green is another example of research-based communication, which is why I have posted this notice.

Here is what the organisation is saying:

We are in search of possible collaborators. Contact us at [e-mail] if you're interested in joining the team!

You can help us identify and set up collaborations with good hub and spoke partners. You can help set up DG hubs at other places. You can help contribute content. You can help with other technical aspects of DG work (such as setting up a community radio extension of DG, or developing software, or working on novel electricity-generation solutions). You can experiment with applying the similar DG approach to other areas of work (such as education, health care, and political activism). You can contribute money. You can help connect us with funders. You can help spread awareness of DG by word of mouth. If you're a student, you can apply to Microsoft Research India for a summer internship position.
