The initiative is designed to reach students in remote areas where access to computer labs and digital infrastructure is limited. The specially equipped mobile bus will travel across villages and schools, offering hands-on training in basic computer skills, digital literacy, and financial awareness.
The bus functions as a fully functional mobile classroom, equipped with computers, internet connectivity, and learning tools, allowing students to practice real-world digital skills during sessions.
According to officials, the programme aims to:
- Improve digital literacy among government school students
- Bridge the urban–rural technology gap
- Promote basic coding and computer skills
- Support financial and internet awareness in rural communities
This is the second such bus in Odisha, indicating an expansion of the programme after earlier success in reaching students through mobile learning units.
The initiative was showcased at an event at VSS University of Technology (VSSUT), Burla, as part of broader collaborations between industry and educational institutions in the state.
