Ashramshala Initiative:

The Tribal Welfare Department, Govt. of Maharashtra, establishes residential schools for tribal and hilly area residents, generally rural poor and tribals, known as ‘Ashramshalas’ (meaning refuge schools) where the primarily tribal children are provided free boarding and education. These schools are mostly in the remote and often tribal areas of the state so that the children are not too far away from their parents and family location.

As a social initiative, MKCL, in collaboration with the Dept. of Tribal Welfare, Govt. of Maharashtra, extended its IT-Literacy programme MS-CIT at these Ashramshalas at no cost to the student or the school. The last-mile partner in this activity is an MKCL Authorised Training Centre. SHRIM IT’s role in this project included visiting, inspecting, nomination, appraisal, and selection of the concerned Ashramshala as well as the ALC most appropriate to deliver the client’s computer literacy curriculum — onsite in the remote area — followed by regular back-office support, and on-site support to the ALC network partner throughout the year, through the multiple student life cycles.

Digital University Project:

Since the Dept. of Higher & Technical Education of the Govt. of Maharashtra, is its parent body, MKCL has developed the Digital University software framework, which enables the Universities in Maharashtra to reduce the vast amount of paper work required in administering the day to day work of any University. This framework is available across the cloud on MKCL’s servers, accessible to colleges as well as various departments and officials of any university for eligibility, admission, examination tasks amongst other tasks required in the daily administration of any University.
