There is no doubt that for any change to take place, determination, conviction, passion and perseverance are very much necessary. But for someone with all these qualities, if there are no opportunities to serve and implement these changes, there would be no effective outcomes. Programs designed by social organizations can provide this gateway to thousands. Programs introduced by Digital Empowerment Foundation have always made sure that access to such proactive actions from the locals is enabled by empowering them to use the necessary tools. The programs also touch upon various fields from digital services, health, awareness, education and empowerment.
The stories of growth of the communities have reinforced that the scope for social changemakers from rural parts of India to take up bold initiatives is always inclusive in all the projects. Moushami’s drive to make every woman understand the need for menstrual hygiene and sustainable practices, Aquib’s interest to teach computers to students from his village, Vidhya and Manju’s collaborative journey to improve local enterprises and Sayoni’s grit to learn more about the digital world are inspiring for everyone to open up and step into new worlds.
Advanced technologies like Artificial intelligence and Telemedicine are also explored in the rural parts of India. This edition also talks about these aspects and gives a better outlook, challenging the conventional mindset of limiting them to just the urban population.
