Explanation:

With an aim to empower rural women, the Churu district administration has launched 'Computer Sakhi' scheme.

The scheme aims to train about 70,000 women for basic programmes and internet.

The district administration has also written to the state government to provide RS-CIT (Rajasthan State Certificate course in Information Technology) on priority so that the trained women could land jobs at the gram panchayat level.  Around 6,500 women have already availed the training at government school laboratories.

According to Charu District collector, they have 70,000 women involved with self-help groups. The district administration aims to make them digital and financially literate so that they can play a positive role in society. The administration is currently using government school computer labs.

There are 532 schools in Churu district and almost all of them have computer labs and teachers. By the end of this year, the district administration plans to have computer labs in all schools. Thereafter, the next step will be to ensure internet connectivity in all the computer labs.
