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.

The school is hosted in a large room (Utsa Manush Bhaban)
about 65'x15' to teach about 50 children of class I through
