A. IT Literacy and Functionality Program

It has received a wide acclaim all over Rajasthan state and has attracted over 1.5 lac learners in the last 3 years including students and teachers, professionals and entrepreneurs, farmers and workers, housewives and senior citizens, etc.
As a first step to accomplish the mission objective to integrate in a self-sustainable manner the IT education and the IT enabled education with the basic teaching, learning process and its management, RKCL launched a state-wide IT Literacy drive in the form of Rajasthan State Certificate in Information Technology Program - RS-CIT in January 2009.
This program is implemented across the state through a private-public-partnership (PPP) network of about 1500 IT Gyan Kendras (ITGKs). This has emerged as the single largest network of the IT Training Centers in the whole of North India. The coordination of this network is done through a fully web-based management framework viz. SOLAR designed and developed by MKCL (RKCL’s Technology Partner).
All ITGKs utilize RKCL's brand identity and thereby benefit from its high credibility among the masses. Under the RS-CIT Program, RKCL offers a novel curriculum, excellent study material in the form of highly illustrated books supplemented by ERA, an interactive multimedia eLearning management system with rich voice over in English & Hindi containing both inform and perform types of content. eLearning Revolution for All (ERA) includes teachers' resource material, day-wise monitoring of curriculum schedule, learning sessions, interactive sessions, practice sessions, hands-on assignments, eForums, chat with peers and learning facilitators, ePortfolio and question banks leading to intermediate formative skill tests, final online summative examination and instant e-Certification jointly with the Government of Rajasthan.
