With an effort to resolve the issue of employability in slum areas, the vision of the project is to provide employability skills to the urban slum youth in the age group 17-25 years and place them in organized industry. Mobile learning Solution has been developed to inculcate a habit of learning 24×7 among the underserved youth, using their mobile handsets.
The programme is all about loading mobile phones with English language content applications as a courseware to students and youth living in slum areas.
