About Rural Computer Training Computer Academy (R.C.T.A)

The aims and objectives of “Rural Computer Training Academy” is to provide entire computer education to common and middle class and below poverty line peoples of our country of any age group, we make them a perfect man for getting not only jobs in the cities; but also in the villages. We are encouraging our government computer literacy movement all over the nation.

Technical education has already transformed millions of lives in India and is fuelling economic growth across all its sectors. But there still are several pockets of rural India left behind by the technological revolution and where the modernization of the education system is still a fancy dream. It is not that students here lack the willingness to study; what they do not receive is the opportunity to study and the availability of quality yet affordable educational resources.
Rural Computer Training Academy (RCTA) is a non-profit organization sister concern of Grameena Kaushalya Abhivraddhi Charitable Trust, committed towards the quality computer education to young generation living in villages. The organization aims to provide three types of training: (a) Basic computer literacy; (b) Computer as a tool for learning in schools and home; (c) Training in hardware.Currently RCTA are running 108computer centres at different location that provide basic computer literacy. Around 10,800 students are learning computers in different computer centres through this Program. RCTA and another collaborating organization are also running computer education program in schools in rural areas. Currently this program is operating in more than 10% schools.Many students get job opportunities after going through the RCTA computer education program and have gotten jobs in reputed firms, schools and computer centres. In the coming year two more centre’s will be started and the program will also include Web designing & Adobe Photoshop training.

Project Cost For Our start-up cost for one branch is about Rs.1,00,000, a major chunk of which (Rs. 60,000) goes towards buying 10 old computers and Rs.25, 000 on power back up and one double battery inverter. You can contribute to our effort by providing us with used desktops. This will help us open two-three more branches in villages using the same Rs. 1, 00,000. Without your generosity, it will be difficult for us to expand RCTA’s operations.

You can also help by providing us with laptops, in which case we will not need to buy inverters.
Our aim is to open more and more branches so that we can reach every part of rural Karnataka. With your help and aid in terms of used systems, we can expand faster and produce greater impact, a lot quicker!
