In today’s world, Information Technology is a key component in the success of any country. Unfortunately, the high cost of education to acquire computer related skills in certain regions around the world prevents the poor, orphans and underprivileged children from availing these skills which are in demand.

Computer Shiksha’s strength as an organization lies in its ability to manage people, process and technology. With a dream to bridge the digital divide in country they intend catering to all sections of society which are not computer literate. Started at the bottom of the pyramid by enabling those who have the least hope of getting computer literate in the near future.

Computer Shiksha is now serving 12748 children from under-served communities through 104 Computer Shiksha enabled centers in 10 states viz. Delhi, Haryana, U.P., Uttarakhand, Punjab, Rajasthan, M.P., Assam, Karnataka and Bihar.
