  academic institutions on curriculum-linked resources.
  
• Build a common-core + state-specific approach to content.
  
• Lead multilingual translation and contextualisation across
  different states and Indian languages.
  
• Ensure adaptations retain learning outcomes, pedagogy and
  assessment intent.
  
• Manage writers, instructional designers, technical experts,
  illustrators, translators and production partners.
  
• Establish standards for content briefs, technical review,
  pedagogical review and release.
  
• Maintain resource registers, version control, ownership,
  permissions, review cycles and repositories.
  
• Capture learning from LAHI's field work and convert it into
  reusable frameworks, tools, guides, cases and knowledge assets.
  
• Use teacher and field feedback to continuously improve resources.
  
• The source role similarly covers reuse/adaptation
  decisions, reusable versus state-specific content, versioning, repositories,
  rights and conversion of field learning into improved resources.
