HELP DIGITIZING INDIA FOR POST COVID WORLD

As we are still grappling  with the aftermath of the pandemic one thing is confirmed: The world after COVID-19 is unlikely to return to the world that was. The pandemic has created unforeseen challenges in India’s economic landscapes, making education and employment as the biggest concern.  But in this journey of transformation and adapting to the new normal, digital has been a major driver serving as a backbone on which processes of the future run.  It has also accelerated some new trends, leading a paradigm shift towards digitisation. 

Digital Vidarbha Project

The Digital Vidarbha project is started by GirlScript Foundation & Yuva Foundation to use technology for educating underprivileged children. The project sees Digital literacy as a foremost necessity of the post covid world world.  Due to pandemic, educational institutions, companies and every big small organization switched to digital working  but as per the report from the Digital Empowerment Foundation in 2018, around 90% of India’s population is digitally illiterate, leading to digital poverty where the inability to leverage the benefits of digital technology becomes the root cause of poverty. 

To curb this digital inequality , Digital Vidarbha Project has proposed to look after digital literacy, skill development and employment opportunities for youth.
