Greetings Dr. Viswanathappa, I see that Gita has already volunteered her services :-) Gita is an experienced and dedicated WikiEducator and she will definitely be able to help you in this regard. Be sure also to communicate with members of the WikiEducator India chapter : http://wikieducator.org/India. They will provide you with valuable support and guidance.
The OER Foundation and WikiEducator also offer a free online workshop every month and your students are most welcome to enrol in any of these workshops. The next workshop starts on 21 September, see: http://wikieducator.org/Learning4Content/Registration There are also further options you may want to consider -- Perhaps NCERT would like to join our FTE for WikiEducator initiative, where your institution donates a staff member to work on WikiEducator related initiatives for 1 day per week -- and then the OER Foundation seeks sponsorship from the corporate world for NCERT becoming a contributing member of the OER Foundation. You'll find work-in-progress details here: http://wikieducator.org/WikiEducator:OER_Foundation/Membership_categories#FTE_for_WikiEducator_members However - this is entirely optional as the OER Foundation will not refuse any educator or student who want's to learn wiki skills through our free online training programe :-) Perhaps there are also options for exploring how your Ministry of Education can support a national OER collaboration for India, as in the case of the New Zealand Ministry of Education which is providing funding support to establish a national OER commons for the New Zealand school sector. Our philosophy is to help India achieve its educational objectives through OER. Let us know how we can help.
