With an aim of encouraging development and investing in the future citizens of the country Indian Army, Kupwara Terriers and global MNC Accenture in collaboration with an NGO “Digital Empowerment Foundation” equipped Army Goodwill School, Wayne and Upper Primary School Mirmuqam and Pir Computer training institute, Awoora with 25 computers on “National Freedom Day” 01 Feb 2022.
The computers were handed over to respective schools in a befitting ceremony organised by Kupwara Terriers which was attended by School Principals, teachers, Sarpanches and resident students. The initiative of distributing computers was derived from the vision of supplementing education, encouraging multidimensional development of deserving students and to strengthen rural educational system in Kupwara.
This initiative is believed to benefit more than 2700 students from the remote villages of Awoora, Gulgam, Batergam, Halmatpora and Bhatpora in imparting IT education while also enabling them in achieving their dreams and aspirations.
Col Swaraj Bhattacharya, CO Kupwara Terriers along with Maj Jairaj Bisht who works with global MNC Accenture, Mumbai in collaboration with an NGO “Digital Empowerment Foundation” undertook this novel infra development initiative to ensure long-term sustainability of basic computer Infrastructure and ameliorate the quality of education at remote villages in Kupwara, J&K.
Initiatives likes these are reassuring not only because it epitomizes commitment and dedication of the Indian Army towards the people of Jammu & Kashmir but also because in these initiatives exists a potential of socially uplifting a section of the society which not only suffers socio-economically but also lives under a constant threat of geopolitical instability.
