As educational throng institutions, colleges are providing number of programs and increase of student and staff strengths, the need for learning increases (with more and more stale contents pushed to students that least support knowledge quest and relying on paper industries and logistics), excessive reliance on classroom talks/notes for latest knowledge update, that makes learning very high school-like in higher educational institutions. The gap between the ICT impact on culture and educational institutions is overt for the mainstream Higher Educational Institutions. Students often find the education as job preparation, rather than identity, values and knowledge formation for research, innovation and social responsibilities. Establishing a local content cell and store in the college is a right direction to grow knowledgebase, learning content locally with support of external sources. This would provide students decide on the content they choose to plan and learn. Serving learning activities using ICT and students availing it for responsible usage will make them accountable for what they consume, providing analytics for modeling knowledge content, learning behaviors and new fields of research in education for life with new job roles in campus. This proposal furnishes the need for content cell (production unit) and online content store in the college with features and recommends roadmap for actions, financial sustainability (low-scale infrastructural support and college/institution community sponsorship) and rationale for this initiative. It could be less than Rs. 100,000 and 100 days project. Project result is: converting numerous centers at campus into single-cloud window: Content Cell-Store. i.e. Content Cell (office) Content Store (Online).
