Hole-In-The-Wall

What is Hole-In-The-Wall ?

Ans- It is an experiment/initiative by Dr. Sugata Mitra for unsupervised learning and computers. 
On 26th January 1999, Dr. Mitra's team carved a "hole in the wall" that separated the NIIT premises from the adjoining slum in Kalkaji, New Delhi. Through this hole, a freely accessible computer was put up for use. This computer proved to be an instant hit among the slum dwellers, especially the children. With no prior experience, the children learnt to use the computer on their own. 
And this experiment was repeated in other parts of India and it became a success.
