The Karnataka Government is keen on embracing all available technologies to help and train citizens, especially students, all across the State to unleash their fullest potential, said Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai while inaugurating Grama Digi Vikasana programme at Vidhana Soudha on March 22.
Grama Digi Vikasana is an initiative by Sikshana Foundation, a Bengaluru-based NGO in association with Rural Development & Panchayat Raj Department (RDPR) and Dell Technologies. Under the programme, gram panchayat (GP) libraries would be upgraded with digital devices aimed at providing shared digital access to the rural population.
Each Grama Digi Vikasana library would be equipped with four mobile devices, an Android TV, and an internet connection. In addition, the programme would also train the youth on the necessary digital life skills, provide vocational training, educate them on various career choices. Some 75 chosen youths from GPs across Karnataka would be provided special training for engineering and medical competitive examinations.
