We live in an increasingly digital world and while cities such as Mumbai and Bangalore are well connected globally many Indians in rural areas such as Ahmednagar still don’t have access to home computers.
To celebrate World Computer Literacy Day on 2 December our IT Center staff spent the whole of December on a computer literacy mission, visiting schools and colleges within a 5km radius of our computer center. They conducted interactive sessions with staff and students to share information and stress the importance of developing digital skills as early in life as possible. We also promoted our own computer center which gives our local community the opportunity to learn the skills vital in today’s job markets and over 3,000 children were able to learn more about the subsidised courses we offer.
