Tech on Wheels allows Masoom to extend these benefits to thousands of night school students in Mumbai.

The Tech-On-Wheels Bus is enabling Masoom offer IT courses to a much larger number of students. The Tech on Wheels Bus is also providing Night Schools’ students with access to computers, online resources, and innovative educational programming which will open the door to bright future.
