1. Computer School for Young Adults

March 4, 2013, Canning, WB, India
Opened a Computer School near Canning station with 40 students. As of February 2015, more than 200 students completed basic courses on computers. We are happy to see many of them go to internet cafes (since they do not have computers at home) and attempt to make their first resumes, or make a reservation for a train, or Google to learn many  things about the world. This is definitely a first step towards computer literacy.
