This initiative will enable 12,139 students of 137 government schools to get digital literacy education and training. The students taking part in the digital literacy programme will be getting certificates upon completion of the programme.
As part of the programme, the things that will be taught include computer basics, internet, the creation of email id, carrying out cashless transactions, using Google maps and search engine. Around 150 techies from Hyderabad will be taking part in the programme.
