( SURBHI SINGH)
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try
just one more time— Thomas A. Edison

In the era of digitisation, technology and knowledge have taken centre stage in national and
international debates. At the same time, ICT has become an integral part of nearly all sectors and
segments especially linked to the education landscape. Be it teaching, learning and assessment,
ICT is crafting the role of future education in India.

Recognising the importance of digital literacy in rural India, MHRD came up with program for
providing computer education in govt school In RAJSTHAN, with help of both central and state
governments, but due to lack of infrastructure the project failed miserably but MOINEE
Foundation came up as saviour of the project to achieve the goal of ICT in government schools.

Through the help of Internet connectivity computer education was started in few schools but due
to lack of network connectivity in most govt schools and also there were misuse of internet by
the students. So need was to come up with other solution which should be in controlled way and
offline version was started for assessment purpose for the students named as PROJECT
UTKARSH CORE,.

Under this project E- GYAN Kendra was started in SUMEL village, of Jhalwar district
(RAJSTHAN) whole village was equipped with WIFI, Antennas. In a small room of Gram
Panchayat office a small server was created and machine was kept which was too handy and
approx half the size of of shoe box. Diffferent offline contents were available to them which
helped students in Learning.

For its commendable work MOINEE FOUNDATION was selected for PM INNOVATION
AWARD.

Collector of DANTEWADA district of Chattishgarh, was impressed with this initiative. He was
