EMMRC
EMMRC (Educational Multimedia Research Centre) was established as Audio Visual Research Centre to make educational television programmes for the Countrywide Classroom project of the University Grants Commission. Over a period of time it grew in strength and was upgraded to Educational Media Research Centre. Then in the early part of the second millennium it was further modified and named as Educationl Multimedia Research Centre. From then on EMRC became EMMRC and besides making television programmes as was the mandate of UGC it also started making e-content. This mandate was further modified and EMMRCs are expected to make not just enrichment programmes but programmes that are syllabus–based. Then these programmes are transformed into e-content. At present this is the main function of EMMRC.
There are 22 centres (Patiala, Kolkata) of EMMRC throughout the country with CEC as its nodal agency, which is Inter-University Centre of the UGC.
Objectives of EMMRC are
·         Production of educational programmes (especially video and audio) and related support material and setting up of appropriate facilities for this.
·         Research related to optimizing the effectiveness of the programmes.
·         Providing a forum for the active involvement of academic and other scholars in the creation of appropriate educational programme.
·         Studying, promoting and experimenting with new techniques/technology that will increase the reach and/or effectiveness of educational communication.
