Premise
Trafficking of minors, prostitution of young girls, involvement of children in drugs dealing and child labor are common in red light areas. To counter this it is essential that the earning potential of children be explored at an early age. Traditional education will not provide an alternative to earning at a young age. On the other hand the IT industry and skill based courses will provide a better launching pad to increase household incomes through legitimate means. Moreover it was observed that the children and youth of the area are used to making tik tok video and other social media platforms to post vulgar and sub standard content. It seemed essential to put this skill set to productive use.
A dedicated space is being allocated to house such a facility. Here students and youth of the area will work as physicists and engineers, carrying out experiments to investigate phenomena, principles and concepts involved in physical science and technology. Digital learning platform will be provided focusing on areas such as Graphic Design, Coding, Video Editing, and Freelancing. Providing a cutting-edge lab for initial learning and ongoing professional support to master these skills.
