Cyient Foundation unleashes a digital mission

Hyderabad: Having launched a Digital Library in Nellore earlier this month, the Cyient Foundation reiterated its commitment to digital literacy by introducing another one today in the Mandal Parishad Primary School, 8th Battalion, Rangareddy District. A National Digital Literacy Mission (NDLM) Centre was also opened at the school. The facilities were inaugurated by the Governor of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, E.S.L. Narasimhan.

The core aim of the library is to provide high-quality digital educational resources to more than 300 underprivileged students of the school, and accelerate digital literacy. The key resources provided by the Digital Library, which is similar to the one in Nellore, include the following:
