India : EduSAT and etc.

Check the NewScientist article on India's launch of EDUSAT - an
educational satellite meant to bring school education to remote
locations in India. Almost every small village has some access to
electricity and probably a TV too. Buy a receiver and you can educate
a village.

Found this link from Slashdot. Drifted into the following website from
Slashdot's discussion:

a distance education program set up by IIT Bombay where they teach
engineering level classes online. Seems a little pricey though at Rs.
3500 per course.

Anyone remembers the UGC programs in India where they used to have
lectures in various scientific fields. I was a very avid watcher of
the programs.
