 
Aricent
had launched the Outreach Program Aricent in
April 2000 with the aim of pioneering Infotech education for
underprivileged children. The village school at nearby Carterpuri
was part of this social initiative. Children, computer education
and environment are the three priority areas for Aricent as a
socially responsible corporate organization. The Carterpuri
School has helped us realize the first two.
6th February 2003 saw the first batch of ninety students
successfully completing the computer and vocational training
programs. These young achievers were presented certificates
by Amita Kumar and Vandana Aadesh.
Mathew Cherian, Director, Charities Aid Foundation, India,
lauded the efforts by Aricent which have been instrumental
in bridging the digital divide. Today, the Carterpuri School
not only has good classrooms but also a state-of-the art vocational
training institute and a computer lab.
The Outreach Program has seen active involvement by Aricent employees,
enthusiastically volunteering to conduct vocational training
classes for the students.
