Testimonials
Aaditya B Bhatkhande, Student, Standard 6 Government Higher Primary School, AlurInitially, I didn’t know anything about computers. When the computers arrived from CherYsh, I assumed it would be just about learning things like MS Word and Excel. However, it turned out to be something entirely different. I got the opportunity to learn coding and computing, which excited me. The moment I successfully coded and saw the LED light up, I felt incredibly proud and happy. I’m truly grateful to CherYsh Trust for giving me this chance to learn and grow.

Mr. M Danagge, Head Master, JanagaIn a small classroom filled with eager faces, the eShiksha program embarked on its journey. The children, initially unfamiliar with computers, were introduced to the basics of technology in a fun and engaging way. From learning how to use a mouse to exploring Raspberry Pi tools for educational software, each lesson was met with enthusiasm and curiosity.
As the weeks passed, the young students delved deeper into the world of computers, mastering tasks like typing, creating digital art, and even coding simple programs. Their eyes lit up with excitement as they discovered the endless possibilities that technology offers, all thanks to CherYsh Trust. We are truly grateful to CherYsh Trust for being a life-changing force in our villages.

Ms.Kanchana Kammar Learning Facilitator, CherYsh eShiksha program, Tattigera villageI began my journey with CherYsh Trust as a junior Shiksha facilitator and was later promoted to a computer facilitator. Although I faced some challenges initially, the training sessions helped me equip myself to teach computers to the students. Many of the children come from tribal communities, so teaching them requires a great deal of patience. I am truly grateful to CherYsh for bringing this program to such a remote village. The villagers have embraced the program, providing all the necessary support to make it successful.
