Abstract

It has been mentioned earlier that various services are being provided to the
community through the use of ICT, with the help of partner organisations. Microsoft
Unlimited Potential Programme (MUPP) is one such service provided at the VRCs
and VKCs or Community Technology Learning Centres (CTLCs). The focus of the
programme is to provide opportunity for improving lifelong learning of underserved
young and adult persons by giving training in technology skills. It is hoped that
through this programme, people across all age groups and social backgrounds can
learn computer skills. This programme is an opportunity for the course participants
to develop their skills in communication, in gaining access to educational services
and becoming skillfully employed.
