Two villages in Tiruvallur now have centres for students from government schools to learn computer science. The centres, situated around 60 km from the city, at Kanakamma Chathram and Sethanjeri village, will train students from classes 9 to 12 in the subject.
The Indian Institute of Technology Madras Pravartak Technologies Foundation has launched the initiative in partnership with Asha for Education. More such rural technology centres have been proposed near government schools across the State. IIT Madras Pravartak Technologies Foundation would provide the financial support besides technical support in the future.
