Computer Operation and Digital Skill Building program
We are empowering children and youth in rural areas by providing them with IT knowledge since 2008. Though this subject is a part of our education system, the underprivileged sections of our society have little or no access to computers because of a lack of hardware resources, maintenance system and trained teachers in rural government schools. Our program ensures the availability of resources and helps rural students strengthen their operational skills and improve their employability. It also opens the window to new career opportunities and increases their prospects of gaining higher education. We have partnered with Bal Vidya School for underprivileged children at Delhi to impart digital skills to young children.
Through this program, we aim to impart basic computer operation skills and digital literacy to rural children & youth.
- We follow a well-structured curriculum and twice-a-year assessment system for teachers & students.
- To ensure smooth functioning, we regularly upgrade computer labs with necessary infrastructure like desktop sets, table-chairs, UPS & internet connectivity.
- Special courses have been organized for rural youth on various topics such as Advanced Excel, Graphic design with Canva software, e-commerce, AI tools, and Internet networking, to name a few.
- We conduct Cosmo Computer Awards every year, awarding laptops to the best performers. It serves as a motivation for other students who feel encouraged to perform even better in the year ahead.
- We arrange exposure visits to provide a better understanding of the use of technology in day-to-day life.
- Apart from educating the youth, we also train parents through our Basic Computer course during the summer holidays.
- Additionally, we conduct training sessions on the use of digital transactions, Photoshop, eCommerce, ChatGPT, net banking, internet usage, and networking.
- We train the local youth, which helps in engaging them as computer teachers.
- We have witnessed a 30-70% surge in student attendance in schools due to computer education.
- We have conducted Digitise the wise course for senior citizen & Digital Transaction training for Gov. staff.
