Subject: Re: Enabling poor villagers in India for computer education Author: Rajesh Bhattad (Ever enthusiastic) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 05:44:42 02/02/12 Thu In reply to: Barinder Singh Sethi 's message, "Re: Enabling poor villagers in India for computer education" on 11:08:22 03/09/03 Sun When one fellow Indian is talking about tweeting/blogging/cloud computing/social networking etc; the other fellow Indian does not even know what a computer is! Our computer literacy is around just 6%! That's disappointing. Govt has come up with Aakash tablet. A very novel project indeed. But without the basic knowledge of computer, how do you expect a village kid to become an 'internet buff' overnight! That's why I chose this pressing problem to promote my idea: E-Literacy: Driving the Computer Literacy in India The Mahindra & Mahindra Co. started a big social project called “Spark the Rise” months ago. It is a platform to help put ideas into action to drive positive change in India. My idea and project “E-Literacy: Driving the Computer Literacy in India” got selected. The project is a simple yet, I believe an elegant one: Computer education to village kids and youth. To further promote it I need votes, volunteers and funds. The project will be 'Educating the rural population-kids and the youth about Basics of Computer And Internet Usage'. A planned set of workshops will be conducted at the selected villages and urban schools. The Online era has begun: Online booking, Online exams, Online shopping, Online education, Online degrees, Online gaming, Online banking, etc. Internet is growing faster than the speed of light. If we don’t educate them right now, it would be too tough to catch up with technology and the world in near future. Computer literacy is the key to all our problems. Pour in your ideas and if you like the project join me and let's help atleast a slice of a billion peolpe society: A Computer Literate Society. Follow the link and know the project. Get involved. Vote if you think the project is ideal one. http://www.sparktherise.com/projectdetail.php?pid=5669 Log into Facebook and Vote. Your one vote pushes me a step ahead and is like a piece in the lego that completes the puzzle. Forward the mail and share the link on your facebook status, and help me in my small endeavour to create a computer literate society. Thankful and Well wishing you.
