Kanini - Computer Literacy

Why

Kanini [meaning computer in Tamil], started in June 2007, is BHUMI’s initiative to provide children a platform to learn the nuances of this tool. The programme's goal is to ignite young minds to the endless possibilities of the computer, make the children functionally e-literate, and help them lay the foundation for a better career.

 

How

 

Kanini has a well-structured syllabus with courses that cater to children’s varying requirements, interests and aptitude levels.

The Basic 40 hour course package consists of introduction to the Computer, MS-DOS, basic software and hardware, Microsoft Office tools and the Internet.

Advanced packages deal with programming languages like C, C++, Java, HTML, Photoshop etc.
