With the dawn of twentieth first century government felt the need of training their personnel particularly teachers of higher education in cyber knowledge so that they can keep abreast with the latest that is happening in the world. As for our department government of the state entered into MOU with American Embassy in which it was agreed that they would give their English Language Fellow working in the Embassy to the State government for the period of two years in which he will train the staff in the latest cyber teaching techniques. The person selected for this job was Mr. George Chinnery, who was working as Senior English Language Fellow in the embassy. He adopted the modus operandi to train some master trainers and then those master trainers would train other teachers of English Language in the state. First of all he invited English teacher from various colleges across the state and interviewed us to know our willingness and consent for the programme. After selecting teachers form different regions two week two master trainer programs were held at a private college in the capital of the state and the other one was at Dungar P.G.College Bikaner. I was selected for the course that was held at Bikaner. After this training programme all the master trainers were called for a couple of Orientation and Refresher Courses in different private colleges of Jaipur. Atleast three colleges I could remember still- ICG Mansarovar Jaipur, SS Jain Subodh College Jaipur and Agarwal  College Jaipur. After selecting Master trainers the process of training rest of the English teachers of the state began, of course under the supervision of Mr. George Chinnery, Senior English Language Fellow. During the training sessions we were apprised of the latest teaching techniques with the help of computer and other cyber aided tools. It was during this period that e-mail accounts not only of all the master trainers but of all English teachers in the state were created and even blogs were also created. One of my blog is the creation of that period. A team of three to four master trainer along with the English Language Fellow trained rest of the language teacher of the state in two weeks programme held at different divisions of the state. One interesting incident that took place during the training programme was Mr.George Chinnery married his fiancée and the happy couple was blessed with a daughter named Melody. I think that was the best return that he would have expected from this country for the services provided by him to the teachers of this state.
