Amdocs has joined hands with NASSCOM Foundation to set up National Digital Literacy Mission (NDLM) centers in Gurgaon and Pune and train more than 3,000 under-privileged people this year to become digitally literate.
Under the NDLM digital literacy program Amdocs India will invest in training infrastructure, trainer’s cost, and other operational expenses. The centers will train less privileged people on using computers, phone, and other digital devices as well as Internet, emails, social media, e-commerce, IT security.
They will be trained by Amdocs India employees how to use Internet to avail government services such as registering for aadhar cards, ration cards, PAN cards, and others.
Amdocs India employees trained more than 475 under-privileged people on digital skills in a week during the recently concluded NASSCOM Foundation Digital Literacy Week.
“Digital literacy program of NDLM of NASSCOM Foundation is one of the key contributors towards the government’s effort to empower at least one person per household with crucial digital literacy skills by 2020,’’ said Anshoo Gaur, president and head of Amdocs India.
