1. High Himalayan community projects Nepal
The first time Computer course and IT Program in Remote village of Nepal
Rural women of Danadagaun village, Rasuwa, Nepal are teaching computer course in our community
information centre (CIC)
The main objective of IT program is bringing IT awareness and services to people living in rural areas
throughout Nepal. Everyone would agree that very small portion of Nepalese people who are involved in
education, construction, and tourism can benefit from access to the Internet and web technologies, just as
2. residents of other countries have. If only these people could have their eyes opened to how business and
education is carried out in the developed world, business would prosper, and students would be benefited.
The problem is that much hard work is needed to provide computer access and training to rural areas in
Nepal but this tough work we have began at Rasuwa district since 2008 and would like to make a model
district for an information revolution in Nepal.
Now there is a community information centre at Rasuwa but slowly will be increase it many villages and
whole country because the community either child or above sixty age old human being very interested with
internet and computer games. Honestly the old people of village are enjoying and would like to pass their
time with computer games. the household ladies are also interested at the same ratio because they can chat
their husband who are working aboard so the villagers are saying the internet is a best option of
communication and also say very cheap . First time a Tanka lama 82 year an old man talked and able to see
his son at the computer screen. His son is working in Qatar; it is a big surprise to old man Tanka. Similarly
after finished the household works the rural women will gather to learn computer course everyday.
Our CIC is a place where nine computers are good working condition nowadays and anyone can have
access to the tools and services of the information society, and receive assistance in making use of them.
Community information centre is situated in Dadagaun VDC, Ward-3 Rasuwa district.
CIC is designed for the local people to aware what IT is. It is concerned with how the local people can get
benefited from the IT such as how can even a farmer get benefits from it.
It aims at providing the high Himalayan community with an environment where the people can increase
their skills, expertise and professionalism with the help of IT in their respective field. The primary objective
of this program is to create IT awareness in the grass root level. Providing computers to local public schools,
CIC and training to villagers at a time then at second phase gradually through their school children being a
volunteer. We have provided 23 computers to different schools and community information centre within
these days. The major concern is to well acquaint the high Himalayan communities in IT development for
the communities, by the communities and with the communities.
