Indian Army providing free computer training to students in J&K’s Kupwara

Kupwara (J&K), April 30, 2025 (ANI): Indian Army has taken a commendable initiative by establishing Shakti Vijay Computer lab at Tangdhar village in Kupwara district. This lab is now offering free computer courses to local students, significantly reducing the barriers to digital education. The lab offers training at two levels i.e. Basic Computer Course, which lasts for 3 months and other Advanced Computer Course which lasts for 6 months. It also focuses on foundational skills like typing, basic MS Office applications, and internet usage aimed to pursue more in-depth training including programming fundamentals, data management, AI and other essential digital tools. Notably, Tangdhar is a remote village in Kupwara, which has long struggled with limited access to educational and technological facilities. Students with a desire to learn computer skills often had no choice but to travel to the central district headquarters in Kupwara or even as far as Srinagar. This initiative has brought new hope to students not only from Tangdhar but also from neighbouring villages.
