Empowering Young Women through Digital Literacy: The Impact of Computer Literacy Camps in West Bengal and Jharkhand:

The Computer Literacy Camps organized by Jabala Action Research Organisation in Alipurduar, Murshidabad district of West Bengal, and Dumka district of Jharkhand have the potential to significantly impact the lives of girls and young women in these areas. Through these camps, participants gain digital literacy skills and learn to harness the power of the Internet to improve their lives in various ways. Asked to comment on how digital literacy had affected their lives, young women in Alipurduar recorded short videos about what they had learned and how they use the Internet.
