In Jalandhar, Punjab, the mission to transform the lives of students in government schools by equipping them with digital literacy skills was established in 2015.
We achieve this by running supplementary computer literacy classes and providing resources and training to teachers. Currently, our program reaches over 1200 students in four government primary schools and a community Centre in Jalandhar.
