Computer Shiksha expands its Computer Literacy Program to 55 Aspirational Districts

Gurgaon, India: There are 112 Aspirational districts recognized by the Government of India. These districts, historically lagging in socio-economic indicators, are now the focus of NGO – Computer Shiksha’s initiative of spreading computer literacy.

In several states like Uttar Pradesh (UP), Uttarakhand (UK), Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan, Computer Shiksha has successfully started its program in every aspirational district, ensuring at least one school in each district benefits from the program. Currently operational in 55 aspirational districts, the goal is to reach all 112 districts within the next two years.

The NGO is inviting corporates who are looking to take their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) impact to these aspirational districts. The partnership will empower more underserved communities by providing essential computer literacy skills.

The non-profit organization, working towards enabling computer literacy among under-served communities provides free computer literacy for the under-served at schools where students are already regularly attending classes. They deliver a complete package including video course-ware, training, monitoring, evaluation, free lifetime maintenance support, and certification. All the services are provided free of charge as a way to give back to society.

MagicBox is a Smart LED TV-like device with embedded self-learning computer video courseware. This innovative, cost-effective device is designed to remove the need for a trained computer teacher and therefore spread computer literacy at scale. MagicBox does not require an internet connection, making it a valuable tool for bringing computer literacy to the remotest areas of India. Students can learn by watching the videos, appear in exams, and receive certificates from Computer Shiksha.
