IIT-Bombay joins NGO to ensure computer literacy at BMC schools
The Indian Institute of Technology-Bombay has joined hands with an NGO Citizens Association for Child Rights to ensure computer literacy for children enrolled in BMC schools.
The premier institute is providing free self-learning software and training for citizen volunteers to conduct the programme in the civic schools. BMC teachers are also being enrolled for the training, said Nitin Wadhwani, an NGO member.
"The BMC has more than 2,000 computers in its schools. We want to ensure that the children benefit from this infrastructure. We are also trying to get self-learning software support on spoken English,'' he said.
More than 50 citizen volunteers from H/W, K/E, and M wards have already attended the orientation programme at IIT and have pledged at least two hours per week in neighbourhood BMC school to ensure the programme is successfully implemented, said Wadhwani.
