Overview

Digital skills are everyday life skills

From paying a bill to applying for a scheme or attending an online class, more and more of daily life happens on a phone or computer. People without digital skills – or without awareness of online fraud – risk being left behind or cheated.

Our Digital Learning programme teaches practical digital skills in simple language. Learners start with the basics of using a smartphone or computer, then learn to use online services, stay safe online and make digital payments safely.

Sessions are hands-on and patient, so that first-time users, women and senior citizens feel comfortable learning.

  • First-time users who are unsure where to start
  • Online and payment fraud that targets the unaware
  • Online services and forms that are hard to navigate
  • Children who need guidance on safe internet use

Digital Learning

What we do

Practical, step-by-step sessions in simple language.

Computer basics

Using a computer, typing, files and folders, email and the internet – step by step.

Smartphone skills

Using a smartphone with confidence: calls and messages, camera, maps, useful apps and settings.

Online safety

Recognising fake calls, messages and links, creating strong passwords and protecting personal information.

Cyber safety sessions

Safe digital payments

Using UPI and net banking safely: never sharing an OTP or PIN, checking before paying, and what to do if something goes wrong.

Online services

Filling in online forms, booking appointments and finding reliable information on official websites.

Welfare schemes

Safe internet for children

Sessions for children and parents on safe and responsible use of the internet and social media.

How we work

Our approach

Every activity follows a simple, accountable process.

  1. 1

    Find the starting point

    We find out what each learner already knows and what they want to be able to do.

  2. 2

    Learn on real devices

    Learners practise on phones and computers, at their own pace.

  3. 3

    Build safe habits

    Every session includes simple rules for staying safe online.

  4. 4

    Practise & revise

    Learners repeat tasks until they can do them on their own.

Who we work with

Sessions are designed for different groups, especially those most at risk of being left behind.

  • Children and students
  • Women and homemakers
  • Adults using a smartphone for the first time

Yes. Sessions start from the very basics and go at the learner’s pace. Senior citizens and first-time users are welcome.
What should I do if I have been cheated online?
Call the national cyber crime helpline 1930 as soon as possible or report at cybercrime.gov.in, and inform your bank immediately. Never share an OTP, PIN or password with anyone.
