Hyderabad, May 31

Under its Project Jyoti programme, Microsoft Corporation India announced on Wednesday a grant of approximately Rs 2.2 crore to CAP (Child and Police project), a Hyderabad-based NGO, to provide IT skills training to victims of human trafficking and vulnerable communities at the risk of trafficking. CAP, along with the Delhi-based Prayas and other NGO partners, will set up a network of 95 Community Technology Learning Centres (CTLCs) across key urban and semi-urban centres in India. The CTLCs will also be located in strategic locations in Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Vietnam.

Through this programme, Microsoft aims to extend the benefits of IT to 38,590 people over the next three years. Additionally with support from the QUEST Alliance, CAP's well-proven life-skills training curriculum will be digitised to ensure wider distribution. Training will also be provided to cyber café owners to ensure online safety of children and safe Internet usage, a press release said.
