Few days’ back the state of Kerala started a new initiative, which is
named as Kudumbashree (means prosperity of the family). The main mission of this
initiative is to eradicate poverty as much as possible from the whole state. In
order to do so the women of the Kerala need to be digitally empowered as soon
as possible. After understanding the value of this need, Kudumbashree has made
a few plans to achieve the target. As a part of that plan it signed a crucial
pact with the computing technology giant Intel.
This
will be a collaborative initiative, and it will be named as 'Intel Easy Steps
Programmes'. The main focus of this initiative will be the massive improvement
of the social and economic self-sufficiency of women. As per the plan it will
be achieved by providing support through e-literacy and digital empowerment.
Intel's
South Asia Managing Director (Sales and Marketing) Debjani Ghosh and
Kudumbashree's Executive Director K B Valsala Kumari signed the said agreement
on behalf of their respective bodies. It’s quite obvious that it will help the
state to carry on their journey towards glory.
Mr.
M K Muneer, who is the Panchayat and Social Justice Minister, said that this
mutual initiative is an important major step in the e-literacy initiatives of
the state. He added that this will help the women of the state very much by
making them more self-confident and financially independent.
While
inaugurating the programme he quoted, "The project is expected to provide
an opportunity for Kudumbashree members to achieve a more dignified life and
livelihood. Through the 'Intel Easy Steps Programmes' they can gain digital
empowerment through a structured manner and it will create them sustainable
livelihood,"
The
main aim of the project is to make Kerala a complete women- digitally empowered
state, and as per the Minister, this programme will help to achieve this target
within three years from its inception. These types of programme have to be done
quite regularly in order to take the journey of development.
Every state should follow the footstep of Kerala, and take imitative
like this one, which is truly commendable in deed. It has to be mentioned here
that the Social Welfare Principal Secretary Aruna Sundararajan was also graced
the occasion by her gracious presence in the function.
We need to thanks global giant Intel, as they are providing their
support in the programme, which is highly needed. Other global giant should
take some inspiration from Intel, and who knows they might come forward in
order to provide their support too in such noble programmes.
