For students at Sari Ashram School in Akkalkuwa, access to digital learning is being created within the school itself. Bosco Gramin Vikas Kendra is conducting digital literacy classes through a Revolving Digital School, bringing computers and digital learning opportunities to students in the school.

The revolving model allows digital learning resources to reach different schools and student groups, making it possible to extend the benefits of the programme beyond a single permanent digital classroom. For students in rural and tribal areas, such access can provide an important opportunity to become familiar with technology and develop practical digital skills.

The classes focus on helping students build confidence in using digital tools. Regular exposure allows students to move beyond simply seeing computers as unfamiliar equipment and begin using them as tools for learning, communication and exploration.

Digital literacy is becoming increasingly important in education. Students are expected to access information, prepare assignments and presentations, communicate digitally and eventually navigate a workplace where technology is part of everyday life. Building these skills during school years can help rural and tribal students participate more confidently in these opportunities.

At Sari Ashram School, the digital literacy classes are therefore part of a larger effort to make technology-based learning more accessible to students who may have limited exposure to it outside school.

The initiative is being implemented under BGVK’s Digital Literacy for Transformation & Development Project, supported by Seven Islands Shipping Pvt. Ltd. and Don Bosco Mondo. Through the revolving digital school model, the project is taking digital learning directly to schools and creating opportunities for students to learn, practise and gradually build their digital confidence.
