If you would like to connect with other homeschoolers or unschoolers, the following are the online communities in India.
Do make use of the ones that suit you best.
Official Website of Swashikshan - Indian Association of Homeschoolers
www.homeschoolers.in is the official website. It is open to all. Newcomers, media persons, visitors etc. are directed here.
What you can do to make it come alive - contribute articles, links to your blogs on homeschooling, other interesting links, general homeschool information, resource persons, classes, workshops and activities in your city/area...
You can send all this and more (that you feel will be interesting and relevant) to the editorial team for uploading.
