GURULK.COM is an E-Learning project, which enables Sri Lankan community to explore the world of Information Technology. Its primary objective is to provide free but quality IT education to every Sri Lankan. The Government of Sri Lanka has declared the year 2009 as the “Year of IT and English”. This motivated all parties who are in the IT sector to do something for the country to develop IT skills of the community. The government it self has initiated many projects to facilitate the development of IT industry. These projects have done a phenomenal contribution to the development of the industry.

But we suppose that the development process of the IT industry is hindered by few barriers. The main hindrance is the English language. Still in Sri Lanka English language knowledge is not in a high standard. Especially in rural areas of the country this is more common to be found.

Therefore “the Localization” in IT industry has become very important in the process of its development. GURULK.COM is an attempt of that IT localization. We are trying to popularize Information Technology among the local community. We suppose, teaching IT in local languages would help to popularize it among the locals. This is our primary objective of this project.

Secondarily, we are trying to establish an e-learning community in Sri Lanka. E-learning has become one of the main streams of education in the world now. Sri Lankan community is new to e-learning theories. So we believe this is the best time to popularize e-learning and distance learning among the local community. Building an e-learning community would help to develop the knowledge of the community.
