Microsoft India's Project Jyoti

Life is full of surprises but we should never give up on your dreams. Despite being pulled down by martial discord, Prahita Soni's unshakeable desire to complete her education and become self reliant helped her come out dejection and live a dignified life. It led her to Microsoft India's digital literacy program - Project Jyoti. The three month course has not only armed her with basic english and computer skills but given her a new confidence to face the world.

Project Jyoti is run in partnership with 14 NGOs and is aimed at empowering young adults, especially women by training them in computer literacy to enable them to pursue regular employment and a sustainable livelihood.
