CSiI Open Learning Venture (CSiI-OLC) is a "Not for Profit" academic open learning site designed and launched by Professor (Dr) Nirmal Gupta, a heart surgeon with 34 yrs experience in teaching and training.

The site is useful for trainees (MCh and DNB) in Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgeries. It can also be useful for young or even senior cardiovascular surgeons not only in India but all over the world.
CSiI does not endorse or promote any product or manufacturer.

CSiI-OLV is Back Online


August 21, 2020.
Since Nov 2013, the site could not be updated due to several technical and access issues caused by changes in DOPT hosting policies for foreign servers. Operating and lecture videos will be available after a short while.

My Personal Commitment 
I wish to keep the CSiI Open Learning Venture site “Free Access”, until I can manage expenses as a service to education of the future Heart and Chest surgeons. However, in future if it becomes an unbearable financial burden only its curriculum based teaching (Course) sections shall become password protected for members and "nominal subscription based" (Rs.1500 or $100.00 per year). Until then educate yourself, get wiser, better and great surgeons. There is no need for password for now.
