Dr Reddy's opens e-learning studio for underprivileged youth

The Learning Studio - a studio to create e-learning modules for underprivileged youth - a part of 'Disha' project of Dr Reddy's Foundation was inaugurated recently, a press release said.

The studio will create modules for youth between the age group of 13 and 25 years for learning academic and vocational skills at their own pace through onsite and offsite facilitation, making 'Any Time Learning' a reality.

This will utilise advanced technology using VSAT connectivity and internet technology that enables interactive One Way Video and Two Ways Audio Collaborative Tools and Learning Management System.

Employer recognised competency/skill-based certificates will also be provided to the learners through this medium to increase employability in the new economy.

The Learning Studio will be piloted in Andhra Pradesh with already existing government partnerships like UPADHI LABS of AP Urban Services for the Poor (APUSP), MAARPU LABS of the department of youth services and VELUGU LABS of the Society for Elimination of Rural Poverty (SERP).

In the later stage, it is poised to spread across the country both in rural and urban India.
