Digital Didi Changing Mindsets, Practices and Narratives
The word ‘digitus’ translates to ‘finger’ which means to be able to count or point so that a complex thing can be reduced to bits and built back more effectively. The creators of the so called digital world often compare this to the lego modules using which a very complex model can be built. They also remind us that although we can imitate anything out there, the beauty of it can never be captured or brought about through such reductionism. It comes as no surprise that the more digital we get, the more difficult it gets to behold a sense of beauty. This is where the wisdom of touching beauty using digitalisation as a tool rather than trying to seek it within the digital framework helps in the society evolving in a more harmonious way. This piece of wisdom has been the crux of Digital Empowerment Foundation’s vision which keeps witnessing ever rolling stories of change in the most dynamic way possible owing to a sense of balance with which programs are designed to improve lives, customized to different localities and sections of societies, using digital tools.
This month’s newsletter brings you such testimonials which not only give a glimpse of the outcomes of many initiatives, but also the subtleties in various journeys leading to change in the lives and eventually the environment. While stories of social protection schemes have touched the core of well being that we all seek, expansion of SoochnaPreneur programs project the value of sustained growth. While some apps have stroked confidence in many women, computer training and lessons on blog creation have lit the creative elements of many more. Updates on the training and exposure events also give a better picture of the implementation aspect of DEF’s programs.
