Project Kaushal was launched in 2019 to improve computer literacy and digital skills among underprivileged communities. In today’s increasingly digital world, access to basic computer knowledge is essential for education, employment, and everyday life. However, many communities remain excluded due to limited access to training and technology. Project Kaushal addresses this gap by providing accessible, community-based digital learning opportunities.

The Kaushal Centres are open to the public, enabling individuals who recognize the need for digital literacy and wish to build their skills to enroll and participate in structured courses.

Currently, the program operates two Kaushal Centres: one in Vattepally (with 8 computer systems, recently established) and one in Addagutta (with 14 systems). Both centres operate daily from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, with additional hours on Sundays to accommodate learners’ schedules.

The centres serve a diverse group of learners, including school and college students from nearby neighbourhoods, school dropouts, homemakers, and part-time workers seeking to upskill. Kriti also partners with nearby low-cost private schools, enabling students from Classes 6 to 9 to attend computer classes during school hours. These students follow a graded, comprehensive curriculum that builds digital proficiency while strengthening presentation skills, logical thinking, and foundational programming knowledge to support long-term career readiness.

Project Kaushal offers short-term courses ranging from two to four months, including:

• Computer Basics
• Advanced Computer Skills
• Microsoft Office
• Robotics
• Python
• Scratch
• Web Design
• Data Entry

To enhance employability, soft-skills training is integrated for students seeking improved workplace readiness. Classes are conducted for two hours per week, with a strong emphasis on hands-on learning. Course duration may be extended based on student progress, and participants who successfully complete the program receive a course completion certificate.
