ASUS & VIDYA Launch Digital Literacy Drive for 6,000+ Students
In a significant initiative to bridge the digital divide and empower the next generation of learners, ASUS, a leading global technology company, has announced the launch of its Digital Literacy Program in collaboration with VIDYA, a non-profit organization dedicated to education and child development. The program aims to equip over 6,000 students from Grade 1-10, as well as youth, with essential digital skills and expertise through interactive and project-based learning.
The Digital Literacy Program is designed to focus on digital literacy and skilling initiatives, recognizing the growing importance of technology in today’s world. With the increasing use of digital tools and platforms in various aspects of life, it is crucial that students and youth are equipped with the necessary skills to navigate and make the most of these tools. The program is specifically targeted at marginalized regions in Western India, where access to technology and digital education is limited.
The program will cover a range of topics, including basic computer skills, digital citizenship, online safety, and coding. The age-appropriate curriculum is designed to be engaging and interactive, with a focus on project-based learning to ensure that students develop practical skills and confidence in using digital tools.
According to ASUS, the company is committed to promoting digital inclusivity and literacy, particularly in underserved communities. “We believe that technology has the power to transform lives and bridge gaps, and we are excited to partner with VIDYA to bring this vision to life,” said a spokesperson from ASUS.
VIDYA, a non-profit organization, has been working to provide education and child development programs to marginalized communities in Western India. “We are thrilled to partner with ASUS on this initiative, which aligns with our mission to empower children and youth through education and skill-building,” said a representative from VIDYA.
The program will be implemented in partnership with local schools and community centers, with ASUS providing the necessary infrastructure and support to ensure the success of the initiative. The program will also include training for teachers and caregivers to ensure that they are equipped to support students in developing their digital skills.
