People can sign up for an hourly session during the weekdays. It was to cost Rs 30/month. I was assured that I can learn how to type and even appear for a “lower” test within two months.

This 2nd week of July 2016 I had the unique privilege of visiting 4 government schools in Hyderabad. I visited several government schools in the past, but this time it is very special. These schools are supported by the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives of a major multinational that has a very strong community outreach programme. It is very heartwarming to note the generosity of the teachers and principals of these schools. I will cite a few examples.
