Computer classes on wheels in Delhi

Som Datt Foundation, a registered charitable trust working for the under-privileged, has launched a mobile computer education bus with all necessary information technology facilities. The interior of the bus gives the environment of a classroom. This unique bus, first of its kind in Delhi, reaches places where computer has not reached to provide a window of opportunities to the underprivileged children through the world of computers and internet. The computer bus visits different centres from morning till evening with a fixed routine. The young boys and girls belonging to poor families of various age groups, most of them dropouts from schools and unemployed youths, get themselves registered to derive the benefits of free computer education through a well trained faculty member provided by the Foundation. At present 300 under privileged young boys and girls living in the slums of Delhi are the beneficiaries of this project. The Foundation will issue certificates to successful candidates. By October, the Foundation plans to add two more fully air-conditioned buses fitted with 16 computers. Source:Hindu
