Soochna Shakti Yojana: ICT in Education
Chhattisgarh
Currently covering more than 200 schools and touching the lives of more than a hundred thousand girl students, the Chattisgarh Soochna Shakti Yojna – the Girl Child Computer Education Program in Chattisgarh has been an instant hit. The aim, is to prepare the girls, for any professional course immediately after they complete their school education as they are already IT literate. Aimed at bridging digital divide this will help them in achieving their career goals. It was observed, by Team Skoch, at Raipur that through this project the state government, has been able to reach out to those sections of society, that have so far been unexposed to technology. The results have been very encouraging and Chattisgarh now intends to upscale this project to cover, boys also.
