On April 18, 2010 Gujarat Governor Kamla Beniwal launched a state university's directory that carries information about colleges and course which can be accessed on a mobile phone, in Ahmedabad. With this initiative the Gujarat University has taken a lead in providing for all the pertinent information regarding its colleges and courses on cell phone. The project has been executed by knowledge process services provider, Smile of India, along with its partner and professional services firm Klynveld Peat Marwick Goerdeler (KPMG), in association with the Gujarat University.
Through mobile phones with access to internet or General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) connection through the website of the Gujarat University or Smile of India, the directory can be easily downloaded and can be transferred through SMS and Bluetooth. It will give listing of all the cities, colleges, their names, addresses, phone numbers of all the colleges and departments affiliated to Gujarat University and will also update contact details of colleges.
