It was a chilly morning in Bangalore when we casually met for a cup of coffee. As usual we were debating on plethora of topics from IPL matches to Bangalore’s traffic woes. All this until we reached a more meaningful topic- Making a difference in our spheres. I don’t comprehend how we got involved in the spirit of such a philosophical topic early in the morning. We debated, and the question aroused- ‘How?’
We all agreed that IT is centralized to Bangalore, due to which people from other parts were not able to relish its fruits for the simple reason- they don’t know what this IT is? We collectively stood by this as none of us are from Bangalore and so know the ground reality back home. We all thought of taking this IT to less privileged places. But again the question cropped up- HOW?
Is it by publishing IT related web-sites, which I believe are in millions already or by publishing books which again are in multitude? But again the question- How have these served their purpose to Indian youth from a non-Bangalore or non-urban background? So, why can’t we personalize these activities? Yes this makes sense; this is how ‘Parinati’ took birth. Parinati, because it means ‘Change’ in Sanskrit, after all we started with that topic isn’t it?
What do I mean by getting personalized? I mean to visit such places, give them the basics about computer, IT, internet etc. Very importantly give them hands-on experience, give them some reference materials, conduct quizzes and explain the future they have in this field. All these activities can be carried out by conducting work-shops, particularly in educational institutions.
Our Operations-
We can broadly classify our program under 2 categories-
Basic Emphasized- These will cover the audience who have little knowledge about computer, IT etc. Here we carryout activities like teaching the basics of computer, IT, ITES, internet and finally give them information about the future they have in the field as mentioned earlier.
Advance Emphasized- These workshops involve audience who are aware of the basics of computer, IT and the likes. Here we touch upon the more advanced topics along with giving career guidance.
We have a well structured plan for all these activities and are delivered in highly professional way
Our efforts will bear fruits if our activities really reach the concerned audience. So we request you to kindly publicize this program and make a difference in your own spheres!

Theme on which parinati works looks decent.As this unit concentrates on informing people about IT,there are many people who are not aware of computer itself leave alone IT and parinati's technique of leveraging information on basic computer knowledge should help in filling this gap.
Cheers people
Best Regards,
Gautam.
