Dear Friends,

Project "Shiksha," aims to accelerate computer literacy by providing
an end to end solution which includes software solutions,
comprehensive training for teachers and students, IT curriculum
development, and scholarships for teachers and students across
India. Over 80,000 school teachers and 3.5 million students across
government schools will have an opportunity to strengthen their IT
proficiency via the initiative over the next five years. Microsoft
plans to set up 10 Microsoft IT Academy Centres in partnership with
state education departments in addition to collaborating with over
2000 partner-driven school labs. Microsoft will also be sponsoring
teacher and student scholarships to recognize teachers committed to
delivering effective IT education, and students for driving
innovation through technology. As a part of its commitment to this
initiative, Microsoft will set up a dedicated team to focus on this
effort.
Best regards,
Arjun
