Under this initiative, HCL CDC will provide students with course material, practical classes, hands-on training, communications skills and guest lectures facilities.

On the occasion, Rajendra Kumar, Executive VP, HCL Infosystems said, “We are pleased to join hands with Ramakrishna Mission for this unique initiative and empower the underprivileged with the power of IT.
