Akshar Naveen in schools
One of our focus areas is the low computer literacy in India, especially among the underprivileged section. The Group plans to provide 1,000 copies of its path-breaking multilingual software product, Akshar Naveen, to education institutes for the underprivileged in the remote areas of Jharkhand, Orissa and Bihar.
