A short term course on “Computer Literacy Program” during this year Summer Camp organized and conducted for the 10^th Graded students of Aziznagar village came to end with a fitting finale on the 11^th May, 2012.

The high light of the program was the demonstration given by the students to the audience. Some of the students who attended the course were asked to demonstrate to the audience the skills that they have learnt during the course. They did a power point presentation to show the audience about the summer camp –program schedule, details of attendees like their school’s name, class, village etc. Also exhibited their skills in developing a document through WordPad, tabulations with calculations on the excel program that they learnt. They also browsed information on the net for the  “ Statue Of Liberty & Taj Mahal showing all colourful images.

The confidence and courage they exhibited in the show was amazing. The audience watched in awed silence. Some of them came forward to speak about their experiences during the course.

The students thanked the KMRF Team & the IT.Dept of SNIS for helping them learn the skills.

There were a total number of 38 students attended the course, out of them 11 students are from private schools and 27 from the Zillah Parishath School, Aziznagar ( KMRF-adopted School).

Computer Literacy program for a short term course in computer skills for this summer that began on the 16^th of April, 2012 started with full vigour and enthusiasm. Surprisingly many girl students turned up.  Around 43 of them were present on the first day for the orientation program.

This program has been facilitated by the I.T. department of Sreenidhi  International School.      The staff members of SNIS willingly came forward to help the children.

The course started with the orientation of basic functions of computers, history, types, parts and usage. The course program would cover M.S. Word, Excel, Power Point and Internet. This computer course will be conducted for 4 weeks.

At the end of the course all the students will be awarded with course certificates after being tested for their performance.

As the Summer Camp program is open for all the Aziznagar village students, apart from Govt. High school ,students from more than 5 Private schools enrolled their names and taking up the course.

The KMR Foundation has been organizing Summer Camps for the village children for the past 3 years in the Campus of Sreenidhi International School.

We have been conducting program for the Aziznagar Primary School children in enhancing skills in English, Computer, Art & Craft etc.

Last summer (2011) we decided to conduct a camp on “Computer Literacy Program” for the 10^th grade students from Aziznagar  village.

The program was aimed at conducting a short term course mainly to familiarize them with the simple skills of a computer to handle the programs like Microsoft Office Word, Excel, PowerPoint  and also to access the internet.

The summer Camp program was quite successful, the feedback from the students were encouraging and most importantly we realized that in a short period of time all of them

could learn with keen interest and pick up fast. Surely it had been a meaningful learning experience for everyone.

KMRF  in coordination with I.T.DEPT SNIS—will conduct a camp on “Computer Literacy Program”  for the 10^th grade students  from Aziznagar and Nagireddyguda, villages, R.R.District, Moinabad Mandal, Hyderabad.

The Computer Course will take place for 4 weeks from16^th April to May 12^th, 2102 in the Campus Of SNIS.

The activity -mapping of 10 villages as targeted would be complete by the end of  Mayl, 2012.  

At the onset of “SWINEFLU”-in the state of Andhra Pradesh-KMRF reached out to the Aziznagar village community  and  conducted  a campaign to bring in awareness about the disease.

Pamphlets were distributed and verbal information about the spread of the disease and how to prevent contamination taking possible precautions.

As the team is presently engaged in data update of Aziznagar village, going round the village to campaign  about the ill-effects of “SWINEFLU’  was  possible at the right time.

The data update of Aziznagar with population of 5036 is another activity taken up by the team. The updating of data of the villages for new information on addition and change in the family and house, migrants data etc is the routine practice being done once in 6 months or a year.  As  mapping under GPS has been done for Aziznagar Village—the assigned house numbers facilitate data update quicker & faster.

The grade 4 of Aziznagar Primary school continued with their Khanacademy  Math- session. It was aimed at strengthen their skills before their annual exams with practice session. Their performances were evaluated to find out their weak areas and the team worked for their improvement.

The Foundation helped them with a transport.

Glimpses

The foundation is taken up the project of mapping of adopted villages in Moinabad Mandal. The team took training at Mediciti Hospital, Medchal with “REACH”—Project  Team  who have developed map of  Medchal  Mandal of 40 villages for their health care program.

Initial work for mapping of a sample village carried out in Jeevanguda of 411 population near Aziznagar   ( Moinabad Mandal)  with a target of completing entire Mandal in phases.

The above project was done for Aziznagar (5000-population) in 2009 by KMRF-team with the help of “REACH”-team.

In the first phase 8 villages have been targeted  by 30/04/2012.

Mapping of villages and assigning map numbers for the houses in the village maps  help

• locate the place and identify the house faster & quicker
• facilitate update  data area-wise quickly
• do motivation in a  quick span of time moving from  one house to other.
• maintain village data update
