sorry missed this. Our Education Support to Schools and Communities is
also working on teacher toolkit (academic resources/approaches) so am
copying Ranjani and Mythili for their info. Some initial work on
collating has begun
<https://teacher-network.in/OER/index.php/User:Ranjani/Test_Page>
Though this is  initially in English and the toolkit you are working on
must be in Hindi (we can add that to the site as well).

thanks
Guru
