Customer First - Taking the photo

Pranita  Sardar, a young woman from rural Bengal alongwith five others,  is  the  proud owner of a  small but successful business enterprise  that prints invitation cards, flyers, school notebooks, diaries, letterheads , banners , takes  passport photos , touches up old  photographs and  so on. Their shop,  has   three  computers, bought through government  and private loans,    where  Pranita   and her business associates  and  employees continuously work against deadlines  to typeset the matter from  many satisfied customers. It is  a dream come true  for this  group  of young girls who  have had  basic education only and  could never have dreamt of  getting formal employment, let alone learn to  operate  computers.

It  was  less than 4 years ago  they joined  the livelihood skills  training programme ICT-LEAP being run through a local voluntary organization. This training   program focused  on teaching basic computer operations to  rural youth, alongwith  some key skills  needed to utilize a computer to earn an income. Various options like setting up a  Desk-Top-Publishing Unit ( as in the case above) , digital photography,  running an Internet Café , repair of computers  are taught as part of the programme, alongwith  key marketing and administrative skills  and  financial  support to set up a micro-enterprise.  For  those opting for jobs further skills  training  and placement assistance  is  also provided. 

With the growing demand of low cost staffing in the booming IT enabled services  industry popularly known as  BPOs in India many of the  rural youth now have access  to jobs that they could never have  aspired for without this training.
