SACRED Trust, acronym of the “Sahajananda Computer-Aided Rural Education and Development Trust” was established in April 2005. We welcome you to share with us the joy and pleasure of training the rural children and youth in computers. Youth in many of our rain-dependent Indian villages will not be able to sustain themselves through agriculture alone. They have to catch up with modern development in information science and technology. Mobile phones have already become part of Indian Rural Life. Computers and internet are becoming part of rural development. However, millions of children and youth in rural India cannot afford to even see or touch a computer. It is the intention and aim of SACRED Trust to spread computer literacy among the rural children and youth and enable them to catch up with urban children in their ability to use computers as an aid to learning in schools and the youth to be self employed or seek employment opportunities on the basis of their computer skills.
The SACRED Trust aims to reduce the digital device between urban and rural India. We expect the children, youth and teachers in villages to learn English and access rest of India and the world through internet and websites to learn about educational opportunities in other schools and colleges, employment, skill development and business opportunities.
Our activities are presently confined to Karnataka State. The area of our operation is mainly Kanakapura taluk (Tahsil) including Kanakapura town and 23 villages. There are 3 centres in Ramanagaram taluk. A total of 100 computers are working at these training centres and about 2000 children are learning computers. Most of our training centres are housed in primary schools and there are three independent centres viz. in the premises of Government Higher Primary School, Kanakapura, Chikkamuduwadi and Doddamuduwadi.
The Aims of the Trust as contained in the Registered Deed of the Trust is in the folder "Aims & Objectives". All training by the Trust is free of cost. |
