Dear All, I am happy to inform you that through Spoken Tutorial based SELF workshops, we have provided LaTeX training to more than 40,000 students and teachers in many colleges across India. This has been achieved through about 1,000 workshops. The details of the above are available at http://spoken-tutorial.org/statistics/training/?event_type=0&academic__state=&academic__city=&academic__institution_type=&training_type=&foss=14&tdate_0=2011-01-01&tdate_1=2014-12-11. Through this link, you can identify the workshops that have taken place in your state, city, college and so on, including the names of local workshop organisers. It is interesting that 50% of this training has taken place in this year alone. We have received some testimonials on the efficacy of this approach: In http://spoken-tutorial.org/testimonials/, Prof. Chitra Desai says that she now uses LaTeX for everything, including writing letters, IEEE papers, and so on. We have also heard of some colleges making LaTeX mandatory for their thesis writing, after undergoing our training.
