Basic computer literacy

Basic computer literacy (BCL) under Shyamsundar Child and Women Development Society IT Education Project "The Institute of Advance Studies" . 

Why Is Computer Literacy Important?

Computer literacy is important and essential in today's world as much of the world relies on computers for doing the day to day activities. Computer literacy is the knowledge and the ability to use the computers and technology efficiently. The goal of every computer literate person is to be able to use and learn the computer programs without much help.

Today, be it banking, ticketing, messaging, day to day accounting or any other work, we use computers practically for every activity of our lives. As computers have become an integral part of our today's lives it is necessary to know more about it. This is where need for computer education comes into picture.

In order to take the advantage of this marvelous technology proper computer guidance and education is a must. A survey of computer literacy courses at various colleges gives an idea of what the accepted norms are for defining computer literacy. 

There are three main areas of coverage. 

The first covers the concepts of operating systems. Operating systems are what a user first deals with in using a computer.

The second area of coverage is the use of particular software. The decisions on which software to use should be the most varied, but lately they have seemingly become very much aligned, unintentionally, among colleges. The standard is to train students on the Microsoft Office suite of programs. Office includes such popular programs as Word, a word processor, Excel, a spreadsheet or table-making program, and PowerPoint, a presentation manager or slide show program. These three are standard in computer literacy curricula. Others software that may be covered includes Access, a database program, and Publisher, a desktop publishing program.

The third area, which is a recent development and is increasingly becoming important, is the use of the Internet.

Project Plan:

The Organization plans to provide basic computer education at affordable cost. Based on computer training provided, The Organization will conduct an examination and provide certificates to the successful students.

Educational Scholarship Program

Education is a basic necessity of life. It is a key determinant in a nation’s economic, social and cultural progress. In a society like India, where disparities and differences on all possible parameters are significant, education can contribute in bridging this gap. Education facilitates in providing access to equal opportunities for all. It has the potential to help the poor come out of the poverty trap.

Cost of education:

‘Though schooling is provided free by the government, along with free incentives like textbooks, midday meal and uniforms, education still has cost to it, which the poor cannot afford.` Poverty adversely affects underprivileged children, women and men by limiting significantly their education and future livelihood and employment opportunities. According to a government report, nearly 77% of India’s population lives in acute poverty, earning less than Rs 20 a day. A sizable number of parents find it difficult to provide small costs of education.

For the IT Educational Scholarship Programme:

Along side providing free scholarship, we have launched scholarship programme to raise the levels of participation of the underprivileged students in IT education. These aim at decreasing IT education dropout rate, reducing gender gap, motivating students for pursuing IT education and promoting equity. For instance, the Educational Scholarships Programme for underprivileged children, which focuses on, among other things, enhancing opportunities through improved access to IT education and scholarships for economically weaker section students.
