More than 23 lakh women in rural areas are receiving training on digital literacy and internet usage. This ongoing initiative is expected to continue throughout the year, with the aim of empowering women with essential skills to navigate the digital world. 

The programme, organized by Grameenphone and Nokia, focused on enhancing awareness among marginalized women about the safe and effective use of technology and the internet, which is vital for their participation in today’s connected society.

A recent event marked the formal launch of the campaign, attended by key officials involved in the initiative. The training includes hands-on lessons on how to use the internet correctly, its benefits and drawbacks, and how to ensure safety while browsing online.

This campaign is being conducted across union-level areas, providing rural women with essential knowledge on the proper use of the internet. These women are learning about the importance of safe internet use and how it can impact their daily lives. 

From enhancing entrepreneurial skills to improving communication, the training is expected to equip them with the tools to become more proficient in technology, ultimately improving their personal and professional lives.

The campaign also includes various smartphone models and special internet offers to further encourage internet use and help women stay connected.
