World Telecommunications Day Celebrations
In the last week of April, 2016, #CIRC Pakri in West Champaran District of Bihar organised a special five day #workshop on smartphones. Ironically, most of the people in the village own mobile phones, yet had very limited knowledge of its various functions. People visiting the centre were educated about the different uses of #smartphones that can help them with their day-to-day tasks. They were informed that besides calling, smartphone can serve so many other purposes, including internet banking, online shopping, social networking and entertainment. People were educated about the various apps that can be installed to avail these services. Women were hesitant to attend the workshop, and so, door-to-door training was conducted by the centre staff to educate women about smartphones. The most visible impact post the workshop was that people in large number have started to visit the centre to download all the useful apps they were informed about during the workshop.
