The marginalized communities in the era when Chandrayan 2 has already been launched, are way behind the mainstream societies from standard of living perspective. This is due to the financial status of the families of these communities. Due to unavailability of enough scope for livelihood, the people of the marginalized communities suffer a lot to provide education, food and health facilities to their kids. As a result, the kids are forced to earn for their family instead of going to school. This increases child labor and decreases literacy rate as well. At the same time,in the Twenty first century, every individual needs to be skilled enough to manage the square meals and compete with the people of mainstream society. Literacy rate is directly proportional to the livelihood. The more literacy rate, the better standard of living.

DIGITAL LITERACY PROGRAM: The finest way to strategize for teaching digital literacy to rural communities include improving the usage of digital infrastructure in rural areas, providing necessary digital training facilities and devices for underprivileged citizens, offering employment benefits to the communities to boost participation, conducting learning modules of digital literacy programs, well-trained teachers and instructors in educational institutions, and the role of effective community leaders.

Additionally, leveraging networks of supporters and transitioning from explicit to implicit support for children's learning can enhance engagement with digital literacy technologies in rural families. Digital literacy development should involve schools, communities, and Colleges with a focus on common values and sustainable learning.

EMPLOYMENT GENERATION AND WOMEN EMPOWERMENT THROUGH MBC ACTIVITIES: The proposed intervention is designed to focus on strengthening the capacity and skills of women, particularly from marginalized and vulnerable communities, through Micro Business Centre (MBC) activities. The core objective is to enhance sustainable livelihood opportunities while promoting financial independence and social empowerment among women. In addition to livelihood generation, the initiative also contributes to improving the efficient use of electricity and reducing instances of power theft at the community level. Under this program, we have been actively engaging with more than 250 women members from Self-Help Groups (SHGs), enabling them to participate in structured livelihood activities linked with energy management and community awareness. The program is currently being implemented in the Angul and Talcher Electrical Divisions with the dedicated support of over 12 trained and motivated young volunteers from CAAD. These volunteers provide continuous technical guidance, mentoring, and monitoring support to ensure effective implementation. Through a practical and community-driven approach, the initiative aims to enhance the performance, efficiency, and income levels of the Women SHG members, while simultaneously strengthening organizational outcomes and long-term sustainability. .
