ENHANCING DIGITAL SKILLS THROUGH HANDS ON EXPERIENCE AMONG RURAL GIRLS OF BHANGEL VILLAGE, UTTAR PRADESH

Dr T Beena.




Abstract

The hallmark of the 21st Century India is computer and technology driven society. Various reports published by both the government as well as the research organizations have established the need for technologically literate citizens. This is a pre-requisite to the existence of man today as the government is steadily shifting towards digitalization. The chances of employability increases manifold when the person is technologically versed and is in the knowhow of the computer operations. It is also becoming apparent that technology will continue to be increasingly integrated into nearly every aspect of social and working world. Connecting the people with the rest of the world through internet is becoming increasingly important in the digital world of the present times. The girls of the rural area have less knowledge and understanding of the digital world. There’s a felt need on the basis of the observations that the rural girls are not digitally skilled. This is due to not getting the access to digital learning. The present research intents to train the rural girls of Bhangel village, Noida, Uttar Pradesh with the idea that educating a girl is equivalent to educating a family and this would be a humble step towards the government’s mission of Pradhan Mantri Gramin Digital Saksharta Abhiyan. This digital skills training will further help in making them empowered towards the various digital platforms like financial transactions, educational learning, social communications, etc. and thus contribute towards nation building. At this time of the pandemic, the need to be digitally skilled is the need of the hour.

Key words: Digital Skills, Digital Empowerment, Mobile Technology
