Hi Vinod, 

Nice to meet and talk with you at Stanford. Here are some examples of Stanford and UC Berkeley accreditation, which WUaS will likely pursue: 



And WUaS seeks to accredit on such CC-4 MIT OCW courses in 5 languages as these: 
- https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/

Here's the beginning India World Univ & Sch - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/India - not yet in Hindi. It's a wiki so open to editing.  

WUaS's open online monthly business meeting meets tomorrow at 9am Pacific Time in a Live Hangout on Air if you might be interested in participating - https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/984858705421254657. Please let me know if you'd like to participate and I'll send you an invitation.
