Through HELP, CGI aims to promote digital literacy and provide access to basic healthcare to the students. As part of this project, a website was developed by CGI professionals, which gives students access to self-learning apps and helps track their online and offline learning. Apart from onsite Doctor consultation, the website will maintain the online medical records of the students and an inventory of medical supplies at the school. In addition to the website, CGI will also upgrade the school's existing computer infrastructure. The project will significantly increase literacy, good hygiene and healthy eating practices among students, thereby improving their basic health parameters and enhancing proficiency in English and digital literacy skills.
"CGI is committed to help and improve the digital literacy and the overall well-being of the communities in which we live and work. Through the HELP website, we want to create a platform where underprivileged students get access to quality education and basic healthcare," said George Mattackal, President of Asia Pacific Global Delivery Centers of Excellence, CGI. "We hope that this access will empower and inspire them to be a part of the digital workforce and take up careers in technology."
"We are pleased to collaborate with CGI to provide these students access to digital learning and infrastructure facilities. HELP will help us bridge a gap today in education, this will encourage and equip these students to pursue their education and find suitable opportunities in our society," said Ketan Rajaram Bondre, Chairman, Vivekanand Seva Mandal, Dombivli.
