Why SSCF Started The Digital Literacy Program?

Over the course of the previous decade, we have seen a rapid adoption of digital technologies in almost all aspects of life. From everyday needs such as ordering groceries, to financial transactions and even accessing healthcare remotely. The challenge that we today face as a society though is that while there has been rapid digital transformation, the speed of adoption of technology has not been the same across the board.

When we visited the marginalized communities, we learnt that school children and impressionable minds used cyber cafes to learn the use of computers. We were shocked to find that minors were using the internet for accessing inappropriate material. Without proper guidance and someone to show the true power of digital, large sections of the future of the country were not being afforded a fighting chance to compete with the more privileged sections of society.
