Young Scholars Computer Centre provides free Computer training, English communication, and English, Hindi typing skills to visually impaired students and students from economically backward sections of society. The mission is to empower these students by developing basic skills so that they may live independent and dignified lives.

Set up in 1997, the Centre began by providing training in computer education at a very subsidized fee to sighted students from underprivileged backgrounds as most such courses were being taught at unaffordable prices at that time. In 2015 we identified a growing need for computer education amongst visually impaired students. We decided to arrange for free training for them and equipped ourselves with staff and software to enable us to do so. 

Commutation is difficult for most people in Delhi, but especially so for visually impaired students from marginalised sections of society, who have come to the capital city from across the country, and living in hostels with meagre resources. In order to make sure that these students are able to come to the Centre conveniently, we also provide free transport facility, either by way of arranging vehicles for them or by giving financial assistance. 

To enable both sighted and visually impaired students in accessing the job market and be independent, we also added English communication, and English, Hindi typing skills to the courses being taught at the Centre.

Educated - Empowered - Independent

Over the years, we have worked with various like-minded organisations and individuals who have donated laptops and other equipment for free or at heavily subsidized rates. Others have organized special training and skill enhancement courses and workshops.
