Sahyog care for you is working for the education of underprivileged women in the society. The organization is inspire to work for the education of women living in slums. ‘Sahyog’ aims to educate these women so that they can earn a livelihood and live a dignified life; therefore Sahyog introduced the program “Saksharta through Digitalization” in the slum areas of Alwar in Rajasthan. The main objective of this program is to provide elementary education and an opportunity to learn computers to these underprivileged women. The project offers training sessions for adult females, catering about 30 participants in each batch. During the six month program women come for classes six days a week for a duration of one and a half hour. During the classes we follow curriculum prepared by State Resource Centre (SRC) which is up to class 3rd level. We also teach them through digital curriculum prepared by TCS, which run on computers only. After completing this six month curriculum women are able to read and write, read newspaper, fill daily routine forms like Bank deposit and withdrawal forms, railway reservation forms.
