Publications

Contextualisation of the Sphere Standards is aimed at by promoting the "innovation bubble". Communicating standards through many languages - English, Gujarati, Odiya, Hindi and Bangla - and in many forms - posters, brochures, pocket books, media kits, course modules, operational manuals-by practitioners with DMI facilitation has helped. "Get your hands dirty". "Leap from long lectures to laptops". "Reach out during response". "Sustain innovations in the context". These are recommended by participants and users for better contextualisation.
