Success Stories
I stay at Rajeev Gandhi nagar. I studied up to 10th standard. We are three members in my family. I’ve a small kid. My husband is a daily wager. He works very hard. I always wanted to contribute to my family income for my child career growth. I came to know about digital literacy course through a pamphlet. Its a good opportunity for me because I can’t enroll for expensive technical courses. Management of the institution cooperative and very supportive. At the center, I learnt about operating desktop and tablet phone. Installation of applications in tablet, video calling, sending and receiving mails, sharing data from one to others etc. All these skills will be much useful for my career growth. In addition to the technical knowledge I learnt spoken English as well. I’m looking for a job to support my family financially. I believe that this training helps me a lot in my career advancement.
