Implemented under the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives of Dalmia Bharat Sugar & Industries Limited, Unit Gangapur, Hardoi, the programme aims to expand access to digital education and bridge the digital divide in rural communities.

As part of the initiative, 90 students, including 40 girls and 50 boys from Kursath and 13 surrounding villages, successfully completed the digital literacy training programme. Launched in October 2025, the programme is designed to equip rural youth and women with essential digital skills that are increasingly required in today’s technology-driven world.

The training is conducted inside the World on Wheels Bus, a solar-powered and internet-enabled mobile digital classroom. Participants receive hands-on training in computer operations, internet usage, email communication, file management, and online safety.

During FY 2025-26, the initiative benefited 280 students, helping them enhance their digital awareness and readiness for education, employment, and daily life in an increasingly digital environment.

The valediction ceremony was attended by several dignitaries, including Tej Narayan Singh, Unit Head; Maan Singh, Gram Pradhan, Kursath; Vikram Singh, Chairman, Nagar Panchayat Kursath; Raj Bahadur, Principal, V.S. Public Inter College; along with members of the Dalmia Bharat Sugar management and the Dalmia Bharat Foundation team.

Speaking on the occasion, Ashok Kumar Gupta, CEO of Dalmia Bharat Foundation, said that access to technology and digital skills has become critical for education, employment, and entrepreneurship in today’s digital-first world. He congratulated the students for successfully completing the training programme and taking an important step towards a brighter future.

He further emphasized Dalmia Bharat’s commitment to ensuring that rural youth and women have access to the skills and opportunities needed to thrive in the digital age, adding that the organization remains proud to support young learners in their journey of growth and progress.
