“We are receiving free computer training. We express our gratitude to Modi government for this. This is a very good initiative. It will help people from poor backgrounds like us to pursue computer courses. This will pave way for our employment and success,” she said.
She added that as girls, they were deprived of many opportunities, but today, the central government is launching several schemes for their empowerment.
Another student, Parveen Akhtar thanked the Centre, stating, “We are getting the opportunity to learn computers for free. Earlier, we had absolutely no knowledge about it. In our area, girls' education is not given any priority, but today I am able to study computers. I would express my gratitude to central government for this.”
“We are becoming self-reliant. Today, we are experiencing a sense of independence. This is a matter of great joy for us, which truly cannot be expressed in words,” she added.

Faculty member Rahul shared some insights about the programme and explained that this is a computer-related course in which students are primarily taught about computer accounting.
“There are a total of 34 students in our batch, of which 15 are residing here. Their lodging and food expenses are being covered by the government. All these students have come from remote areas,” he informed.
