Transformative Agenda

Moving Towards a Knowledge Economy…

Creating a knowledge-led economy and knowledge-based societies in the world is a key to survival and development of people in the emerging knowledge era.

RKCL believes that there is a great potential in societies to emerge as a knowledge-led economy

thanks to their large but latent talent pool. The challenge exists in transforming their

predominantly agrarian or industrial economy into a new knowledge-led economy.

This Transformation can be reached by imbibing a culture of life-long learning. The severe threat

of marginalization of the masses emerging from the Digital Divide and Knowledge Divide can

be effectively averted through mass IT literacy. Only an IT Literate society can enjoy a greater

share of global business opportunities and global job opportunities.

RKCL is an entrepreneurial endeavor to bridge this Digital Divide and the resultant Knowledge

Divide by offering actionable knowledge to masses for socio-economic transformation.

RKCL's synthesis of a new paradigm of education is to offer education:

To very large and diverse population

with various diversities – Bigger

With high quality of relevance and applicability in life and work- Better

At an affordable cost- Cheaper

Within shortest possible time – Faster

With wide accessibility from metros to villages – Wider

In a mass-personalized and deeper experiential manner- Deeper

RKCL attempts to address these six challenges simultaneously by pervasive and appropriate use of IT for empowerment of the masses in general and youth in particular.

Focus RKCL commenced its business operations in Jan 2009 over the entire state of Rajasthan, the

largest state in India measuring about 342,269 sq. km. with population exceeding 6.86 crores

(Census 2011).

In a short span RKCL has emerged as a high-tech and high-touch initiative focused on design, development and delivery of innovative eInfrastructure, eLearning, eGovernance, and eEmpowerment technologies, solutions and services to its ever growing base of customers in educational institutes, Governments, and Communities.

Unique Equity Profile

The Government of Rajasthan (GoR), three Universities in the state, community institutions, IT

and non-IT bodies, etc. are among the initial major equity holders of RKCL. With GoR's equity

of 30%, the company has a unique blend of governmental credibility and social responsibility on

one hand and entrepreneurial competitiveness, market orientation, flexibility, productivity,

profitability and self-sustainability on the other.

The founders conceived a unique identity of RKCL as a fast-track IT enabler and a complimenting and supplementing partner of the universities, governments and communities for the fulfillment of the new and growing aspirations of students in particular and people in general in the emerging knowledge society and knowledge-led economy.
