ASUS & VIDYA Launch Digital Literacy Drive for 6,000+ Students
In a bid to bridge the digital divide and equip the next generation with essential skills for the modern digital world, ASUS, a global leader in the technology industry, has announced the launch of its Digital Literacy Program for children and youth in the marginalized regions of Western India. This innovative initiative, in partnership with VIDYA, a non-profit organization, aims to empower over 6,000 students from Grade 1-10, as well as young adults, with digital literacy and skill-building capabilities through interactive and project-based learning.
The program, designed to cater to the needs of underprivileged students, will focus on building a strong foundation in digital literacy, coding, and robotics, providing them with a competitive edge in an increasingly technology-driven world. The program will be rolled out across various schools and educational institutions in Western India, with the goal of empowering these young minds to become confident digital citizens, equipped to navigate the digital landscape with ease.
The Digital Literacy Program is a comprehensive initiative that will cover a wide range of topics, including digital citizenship, online safety, coding, and robotics. The program will be designed and delivered by a team of expert educators, who will use age-appropriate curricula and interactive teaching methods to engage students and make learning fun and accessible.
The program will also provide students with access to ASUS’ range of innovative devices, including laptops, tablets, and smartphones, which will enable them to explore digital technologies and develop their skills in a hands-on environment. The devices will be equipped with ASUS’ proprietary software, designed to provide students with a user-friendly interface and intuitive learning tools.
According to the United Nations, approximately 40% of the world’s population remains offline, and in India, the digital divide is particularly pronounced, with many underprivileged students lacking access to digital technologies and online resources. The ASUS Digital Literacy Program aims to bridge this gap by providing these students with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the digital age.
“We are thrilled to launch this Digital Literacy Program in partnership with VIDYA,” said Mr. [Name], Director, ASUS India. “Our goal is to empower the next generation of digital citizens, providing them with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in an increasingly technology-driven world. We believe that digital literacy is essential for personal and professional growth, and we are committed to making this program a success.”
The ASUS Digital Literacy Program is a significant step forward in the company’s efforts to promote digital literacy and inclusion. By partnering with VIDYA, ASUS aims to leverage the non-profit organization’s expertise in education and community development to reach a wider audience and make a more meaningful impact.
“VIDYA is delighted to partner with ASUS on this innovative digital literacy program,” said Ms. [Name], CEO, VIDYA. “We believe that digital literacy is a critical component of education, and we are committed to providing underprivileged students with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed. This program will not only empower students with digital skills but also equip them with the confidence and self-esteem they need to thrive in the digital age.”
The ASUS Digital Literacy Program is a testament to the company’s commitment to social responsibility and its dedication to making a positive impact on the communities it serves. By empowering underprivileged students with digital literacy and skill-building capabilities, ASUS is not only contributing to the development of a more digitally inclusive society but also helping to create a brighter future for these young minds.
