A 15 day training program on computers fundamentals for the teachers of the 13 Residential Resource Centre's run by LOKDRUSTI, got over on 29th of May 10. DE Trainers Sanjay Kumar Biswal and Mohan Chand Padhan, slogged on an average of around ten hours a day in converting people completely ignorant about computers to ones who are now comfortable plotting graphs on MS EXCEL. I personally visited LOKDRUSTI on the 24th of May 10 and was astounded by the transformation. Each of the trainees will be given a Laptop, provided by the American India Foundation Trust, to be used for teaching children, in the Residential Resource Centre's. The children in these residential centre's are left behind by their migrating parents who mostly go to work in the brick kilns of Andhra Pradesh. Migration starts from November and peaks in December with the parents returning in May-June of the following year. This is distress migration at its worst, affecting parts of Bargarh, Bolangir and Nuapada districts.
