Stating that technology should reach the poor and needy students, Telangana Governor Dr Tamilisai Soundararajan on Wednesday appealed to IT companies and professionals to donate used laptops and tablets to needy students who could not afford to buy them and help them achieve academic excellence.
According to a Raj Bhavan communiqué, the governor has appealed that “The students belonging to poor and downtrodden sections across the State are deprived of online learning as they do not have either laptops or tablet devices and cannot afford to have them on their own. There is a huge requirement for such digital gadgets.”
“On the other hand, there are a lot of laptops and tablets which are in working condition gathering dust in IT companies and people’s houses.
“I, therefore, appeal to all I.T. companies, other corporates, organizations. and people to donate used laptops and tablets with all accessories which are in good working condition and no longer needed for distributing to the student communities belonging to poor and downtrodden sections which will enable them to have the access to online learning,” Dr Tamilisai added.
To coordinate, we created a special cell in Raj Bhavan with K Amarnath, Assistant Section Officer Raj Bhavan (Mobile No.9490000242) as its coordinator.
The IT companies, other corporates, and people may send email to rajbhavan-hyd@gov.in with the information about the name of the organization/person, address, contact phone/mobile Nos, the number of laptops/ tablets they want to donate, etc.
The governor further added that, “I also appeal to the students belonging to poor and downtrodden sections who are in need of laptops/ tablets for attending online learning to send their request through email to rajbhavan-hyd@gov.in with the information consisting of their name, address, contact phone/mobile number, class/course pursuing, name of the college, address of the college, contact phone/mobile number of the college duly uploading the Bona fide Certificate from their college.”
