Terms of Use
Effective Date: January 29, 2026
Welcome to Field Literacy Lab – a program conceptualised, designed and executed by Kesari Harvoo, a National Award winning filmmaker and researcher. By accessing our website, digital archives, and pedagogical modules, you agree to comply with and be bound by the following terms and conditions.
1. Scope of Use
Field Literacy Lab provides a specialized educational portal for Higher Education Institutions and individual learners. These terms govern the use of:
- The Digital Field Literacy Archive (Ethnographic films, GIS data, and field notes).
- The Pedagogical Roadmap and NCrF-aligned credit modules.
- The FVAR (Field Value Analysis Report) reporting framework.
2. Intellectual Property Rights (The "Archive" Protection)
All content on this website, including but not limited to National Award-winning films, field recordings, metadata, and the systemic audit methodology, is the sole property of Field Literacy and its Chief Promoter.
- Restricted License: Learners are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to view Archive materials for educational purposes only.
- Prohibitions: You may not download, screen-record, screenshot, modify, distribute, or publicly screen any Archive content without express written consent. Any violation will result in immediate termination of access and potential legal action under the Indian Copyright Act, 1957.
3. User Conduct & Field Ethics
Users of this portal (specifically during Phase 2 Immersion) agree to:
- Respect Stakeholder Privacy: Adhere to the ethical guidelines provided regarding the identities of community stakeholders documented in the field.
- Integrity in Reporting: Ensure that all data submitted in the FVPB reports is original and based on actual ground observations.
- Professionalism: Represent their partner institution with the highest degree of ethics during on-ground systemic audits.
4. Institutional Obligations
Institutions partnering with Field Literacy Lab via an MOU agree that:
- Access is restricted to the specific batch/cohort authorized by the institution.
