Project Description Region: Asia Country: India Location: Bangalore Total Budget: $86,000 Area of Focus: Basic education and literacy This Global Grant project aims to establish a fully equipped Computer Learning Lab for students of a High School and PU College in Bangalore to enhance digital literacy, improve access to technology-enabled education, and equip students with essential skills required for higher education, competitive examinations, and future employment opportunities. A detailed needs assessment conducted jointly by Rotary members, school management, faculty, students, and community representatives identified a major gap in access to modern computer education facilities. Many students, particularly those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, have limited exposure to computers, digital learning platforms, coding, office productivity tools, internet research, and emerging technologies that are increasingly essential in today academic and professional environment. The project will address these needs by establishing a modern computer laboratory equipped with computers, networking systems, power backup, internet connectivity, furniture, educational software, and digital learning resources. The lab will support structured computer education for High School and PU College students and will also enable access to online learning platforms, career guidance resources, skill development programs, and competitive examination preparation.
