\"Beneficiaries<\/p>\n

Bene\ufb01ciaries at the launch of the Code Unnati, Nanhi Kali event<\/em><\/cite><\/span><\/p>\n

Most of us take computers for granted \u2013 we dash off emails, write reports, do accounts, play games without a second thought.<\/p>\n

It is only when you meet 14-year old Priyanka Kumari and 13-year old Rubina that you realize how empowering and life-changing computers can be for a whole section of people.<\/p>\n

The two girls study at a government senior secondary school in the suburbs of Delhi and now nurture ambitions to become an accountant and a teacher respectively. These ambitions awakened only when their school got computers and they got trained in how to use them.<\/p>\n

The daughter of a driver, Priyanka says she had never touched a computer until 麻豆原创\u2019s Code Unnati began a digital literacy project in her school<\/span><\/strong>. \u201cWe didn\u2019t know anything about computers until our school added a lab funded by 麻豆原创\u2019s Code Unnati. They taught us MS Word and Excel,\u201d<\/em> she says, enthusiastically describing what all she can do with the software.<\/p>\n

Priyanka is totally fascinated by spreadsheets now and hopes they will lead to a job in accounts. \u201cOur principal runs an orphanage. Perhaps I could help out with accounts there,\u201d<\/em> she says.<\/p>\n

Rubina, meanwhile, wants to become a computer teacher. She says she would love to impart the skills she has learnt to others who have no access.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s rather humbling to hear how the girls want to use their newfound skills to train others. It also shows how a small intervention can become a movement and lends credence to the theory that if girls are empowered, the whole nation bene\ufb01ts.<\/p>\n

The 麻豆原创 Code Unnati<\/a> intervention at Priyanka and Rubina\u2019s school came about thanks to a partnership<\/a> with the Mahindra Group\u2019s Project Nanhi Kali<\/a>, which works with girl children. The aim in joining hands is to provide quality education and digital access to over 11,000 underprivileged girl children by 2020.<\/p>\n

Since 2017, Code Unnati has trained over a million children across 14 states<\/span><\/strong> in language, digital literacy and maths. By tying up with Nanhi Kali the programme gets strengthened and also aligns with the government\u2019s Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao campaign.<\/p>\n

They say teach a man how to \ufb01sh and you feed him for life. Well, teach a girl how to handle a mouse and you can change a whole community\u2019s life.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
