By VIDYA Mumbai | Project Lead
Digital Empowerment
Today, we live in the age of machines. Technology touches every single part of our lives. It is advancing at a great pace and has been pivotal to the well being and the advancement of man-kind. Digitization is at its peak - one cannot survive without learning to live with technology. Digitization can never be a success unless the fruits borne of these technological advancements benefit every section of the society. VIDYA, with its digital empowerment program, strives to train the communities in the same.
VIDYA hosted its annual TECH FEST in the month of December and January.
The fest was a great success as VIDYA was able to find its SUPER 50 - a batch of special students that have knack for technology and can help usher in a new age.The same SUPER 50 will now be given extra support and will be encouraged to participate more in the field of technology. These children are like saplings who are being nurtured by VIDYA to bloom.

Annual Report 2018-2019
By The VIDYA Team | VIDYA India
When Rashmi Misra was living at the IIT Delhi campus in 1985, she used to see the same five girls from the neighboring slum playing in a stream adjacent to the campus wall. One day, she approached them and asked them why they weren't at school. They looked at each other, then at her, with incredulous expressions, and said, "don't you know girls don't go to school?"
VIDYA started then, in 1985, with Rashmi herself educating these five underprivileged girls in her apartment. Over the last 34 years VIDYA has impacted 3,75,000 people, with centers in Delhi, Gurgaon, Mumbai, Bangalore and Pune. Our goal is ensuring employability and self-sufficiency for each individual whom we serve. Our programs address literacy as multifaceted - encompassing academia, vocational education, mental and physical health, life skills, social awareness, and values.
2018-2019 has been another eventful year with many new beginnings and success stories. Please take a look at our attached annual report to know more about everything we've achieved this year.
Please note that many of the names of our beneficiaries have been changed to protect their privacy, and the rest have been printed with their permission.
