MAIT Launches “Digital Inclusion” Program in Partnership with Microsoft

MAIT launched a unique corporate social responsibility campaign titled "Digital Inclusion - IT Adoption for Growth & Employability" by tying up with its member companies to facilitate access to computers and software to the digitally deprived with an aim to enable them to develop skills in IT and become employable. In a first-of-its-kind initiative, MAIT has partnered with Microsoft to donate computers and software to NGOs, who are engaged in taking IT education to the rural/poor masses. Microsoft is well known for its leadership in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) investment programs in India which are run with a goal of empowering and enabling the marginalized sections of society through usage of technology. It recently won the prestigious Pegasus Award for Social Responsibility, based on their work for its "Unlimited Potential" program initiative: "The Community Technology Skills Program". MAIT intends to encourage all its members to generously contribute hardware to the cause of bridging the digital divide in India.
