Are you a busy executive or a fairly preoccupied businessman with little time to spare for attending to a world class educational programme? You don’t need to get sullen. You have now an option to join MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses) where you can get the best possible education in the subject of your choice from one of your dream universities, and the best part of the news is that you get the education absolutely free of cost. 
Online Education
No costs involved. Looks like a dream coming true? Isn't it?
 It will be heartening to note that there are scores of institutions, which impart on-line education at free of cost. The online free courses like those from Harvard and Yale seem to be available on your finger-tips. 
An MOOC platform is now proposed to take off in India on the 25th September 2014. 

Named ‘Swayam’ (self-learning), the project is expected to initially begin with three courses – two from IIT Mumbai and one from Princeton University. The Courses from Mumbai will on ‘Introduction to Computer Programming’ and ‘Thermodynamics’, while the one from Princeton University will Quantum Mechanism and Quantum Computation. The first two courses will be covered by Prof Deepak B Phatak and Prof Udai N Gaitonde respectively. The one on Quantum Mechanism and Quantum Computation will however be covered by Prof Umesh V Vazirani.
The courses will not only be offered absolutely free of charges, but would also be available in Indian languages, including in Hindi. It is expected that this India-specific MOOC platform would bring about a revolution in the field of higher education within a short span of time.
