Empowering Youth Through Skill and Service

The Centre offers subsidised fees to students from economically weaker sections and operates in collaboration with the Centre for Development of Imaging Technology (C-DIT), Government of Kerala. It is housed in a 2000 sq. ft. facility with classrooms and a fully equipped computer lab.

Why We Need Your Support

Despite having trained over 1,100 students since 2004, the Centre now struggles with outdated equipment and growing demand. To sustain and expand this vital educational service, we seek financial support for infrastructure upgrades, new computer systems, software licenses, and instructor honoraria.
