Digital Inclusion and Opportunities for Women and Girls
-through courses, special programs for cyber safety, digital media literacy and skills building

"You educate a woman you educate a generation. You empower a teacher you empower a community."


There are 4.9 million women educators in India and they comprise 55% of the total number of teachers in K12. My organization and I focus on upskilling, and capacity building of teachers equipping and empowering them with new skills for better learning for children.
Our special focus is on the mission – Happier and Safer Internet for all which is a holistic approach:
1. Protection from online dangers for women and girls – cyberbullying, sextortion, stalking, financial scams etc.

2. Empowerment to navigate new digital media founded on facts, and information literacy and harness creativity to get employable skills to thrive with the right knowledge and tools for happier online experiences.

Programs for girls and women - We have designed certificate courses for the Cyber Warrior Girl Scout Program with the objective build a collaborative community of leaders who spread the messages among the wider community of female students in schools, colleges and families. Besides the deep delving learning we also regularly conduct interactive sessions for women and girls of all age groups.

NexSchools has touched half a million people through this program and total visits on NexSchools.com have reached over 2 million in a year’s time.

Our efforts are on for more research-centric pragmatic solutions for ever-changing cyber space and towards building educational resources like guide books for girls and women to build a safety net while making the most from the internet.
