But India is a technology and software hub, and stable and well-paid employment opportunities in this sector are available. Having even a basic understanding of ITcan open up a lot of opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We will aim to provide the best-in-class computer training to our children and the young people. The successful model for charities is to work in collaboration with the external stakeholders \u2013 this cannot be over-emphasized. We have already received interest from an international foundation for this initiative and have received computers from local corporations. Once we have the new school running, we will have the opportunity to expand computer training to all our school children. <\/p>\n<p>Ongoing<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Soumitra Bose, Secretary of Calcutta Rescue, who had experience of introducing IT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5433,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5430","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","entry","has-media"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/calcuttarescue.org\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5430","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/calcuttarescue.org\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/calcuttarescue.org\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calcuttarescue.org\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calcuttarescue.org\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5430"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/calcuttarescue.org\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5430\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5434,"href":"https:\/\/calcuttarescue.org\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5430\/revisions\/5434"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calcuttarescue.org\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5433"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/calcuttarescue.org\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5430"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calcuttarescue.org\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5430"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calcuttarescue.org\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5430"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
