Computers nowadays have become the part and parcel of our lives so much so that imagining life without it seems little difficult. Indeed, computers and internet has entirely changed the way we do business, buy a product, hire a service or for that matter, study. Therefore, the knowledge of computers is but imperative in this day and age as long as one wants to remain on the forefront in any field. Being an expensive device, a computer, however, is not within the easy reach of everyone. Keeping this thing in mind and with the intent to contribute to the ‘Digital India’ campaign, Shree Narayan Sanskritik Chetan Trust has started a mission.
Hence, the knowledge of computers has to be inculcated in this generation as we are transforming into 'Digital India'. However, most schools still generally focus on textual learning rather than a digital approach.
Rajan Shrivastava, the founder of Narayan Sanskritik Chetan Trust, aims to curb this problem of computers not being able to reach the underprivileged. This organization has a computer-learning centre in a van to help underprivileged schoolgirls learn computers.

- While he visited Garhi Chaukhandi village, he observed that the education system here was not up to the mark. This impelled him to start of this programme under the trust.
Location
Shree Narayan Sanskritik Chetan Trust’s van has been stranded at the entrance of Garhi Chaukhandi, a semi urban village in Noida sector 121. This van was set up there because students were in a desperate need to learn computers.
Today, approximately 80 students are enrolled in this programme.
Curriculum
Students here generally learn the basics of computers and deal with the textual knowledge. The syllabus includes Notepad, MS Office, MS Excel, and Power Point Presentation.
This noble step taken by Rajan is laudable and inspiring. It has given so many children a hope to fulfil their dreams of learning computers and getting a feel of how technology works. However, we need more people to come up and contribute to the well being of the society.
