Digital Didi Changing Mindsets, Practices and Narratives
Bharat Rural Livelihoods Foundation (BRLF), an independent society established to upscale civil society action in partnership with the government, has initiated a programme to take students from nomadic tribes of central India on a unique study tour across 13 states of India. During this tour, the students will get a chance to visit multiple NGOs and experience India through their work. In this unique programme, DEF is responsible for the Functional IT Skills Module (Part I), which was successfully conducted at IIHMR University in Jaipur (Rajasthan) from November 19 to December 1, 2016.
Under this module, 30 students learnt to use laptops, mobile phones and tablets for basic functions such surfing the Internet to seek information, checking emails and using MS office. Shishir Purohit, Jazbe Hassan Razvi and Rucha Deshpande from DEF were part of the team who conducted the 12-day long training programme in Jaipur. The team found is extremely fulfilling to see students, who had not even seen a laptop or touched a mouse before, developing interest and getting comfortable with handling the device.
