Computer support programme
Around 85 % of the population of Nepal lives in rural areas, with a literacy rate of nearly 52% in total. In these underprivileged regions, still Radio is the main source of information and entertainment as still they don’t have easy access of televisions and newspapers. Less than 10% of population have access to the internet that mostly based in urban areas. However, a couple of rural villages are connected by wireless internet but many of the villagers are very far what is computer and how its looks like.
As we are aware of Information communication Technologies (ICTs) are tool for development and engine for growth. To implement this amazing technology into a couple of areas, this small campaign will help toward computers distribution for youth and student.

The digital divide:
Concern is growing that society may eventually become divided into two distinct groups.
