Digital Literacy Training (DLT)
Empowering Communities Through Digital Skills
The Digital Literacy Training (DLT) programme is an ASHA initiative designed to equip young people and women from underserved communities with essential digital skills for the modern world.
In today’s digital economy, access to technology and the ability to use it effectively are no longer optional — they are essential. DLT bridges the digital divide by providing practical, hands-on training that prepares participants for education, employment, entrepreneurship, and online opportunities.
Why Digital Literacy Matters
Many young people face limited access to digital tools, skills, and opportunities. Without digital knowledge, they risk being excluded from:
Online education and learning platforms
Employment opportunities
Digital entrepreneurship
Financial technology and online services
Global networks and innovation spaces
DLT ensures no one is left behind.
