Imphal, October 26 2015:
20 Assam Rifles of 26 Sector Assam Rifles under the aegis of HQ IGAR (South) moved a step further in empowering the womenfolk of Chandel by establishing an IT Hub at Chandel.
The IT Hub was dedicated on Mar 30, 2015, according to a statement issued by the PRO of IGAR (S) .
Six state of the art computers with Wi-Fi connectivity and printers were installed along with requisite furniture.
After a period of six months since the project was implemented, the centre today has become a self sustaining project where IT education is imparted to school children and youth of Chandel district.
The centre today has not only started earning revenue catering for day to day expenditure but also has started making profits too.
Due to IT hub, the youth of Chandel town have a 24x7 dedicated internet connectivity.
Earlier, students/youth had to go to Pallel and Kakching to access internet, but now they have full time internet connectivity at their door step.
The centre is helping the youth by encouraging them to fill various job applications online, the AR statement said.
