Ministry of Communications and Information Technology has constituted
a Working Group on Information Technology (IT) Mass Literacy Programme
under the chairmanship of Indira Gandhi National Open University
(IGNOU) Vice Chancellor Prof V.N. Rajasekharan Pillai.
The group has commenced its work by launching a website on the IT Mass
Literacy Programme. This website is envisaged to come out as a
complete portal on the programme for certification and feedback, and
even to ascertain if a person is an e-literate.
The primary objective of the website is to bring together all
institutes, universities, corporates and colleges offering IT
programmes on one platform in order to generate statistics about IT
literates.
As per a letter from the Ministry of Communications and Information
Technology, Department of Information Technology (Human Resource
Development Division) and the recommendations of the Standing
Committee of Parliament for Department of IT, the website on IT Mass
Literacy has been launched to maintain the data with regard to
literacy rate in computers.
There are many individuals who probably do not have a certification,
but know how to work with the IT facilities at basic level for
information interchange or for their knowledge enhancement.
Hence, there is a need to define standards, so that a person bearing
specific knowledge with some experience in IT applications can be
called a certified IT professional for basic level.
