IGNOU to provide IT Mass Literacy
The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) has planned to increase e-literacy level in the country, especially at the grass root level. The university hosted a day-long brainstorming session to create awareness about information technology (IT) and its utility in all walks of life.
IGNOU organised this session in collaboration with the ministry of human resource development division and the ministry of communication and information technology. Speaking about the plan of the university, an official said, "We intend to enhance the use of IT in areas of a citizen's interest by adopting simple and commonly used practices and methods."
V.N. Rajasekharan Pillai, Vice Chancellor, IGNOU informed that the university has worked on an action plan which will involve participants from all over the country for a brainstorming session on IT mass literacy.
He said, "We can sort out all sorts of divides by eliminating digital divide. The programme would be available in e-learning mode and would aim to impart IT knowledge at different levels of IT literacy."
