Scope and Red Apple Learning to Launch Digital Literacy Initiative

Kolkata, November 2024: In a significant stride toward empowering the next generation of digital creators, Scope Gaming Community has partnered with Red Apple Learning Pvt. Ltd. on an ambitious Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative by Red Apple Technologies aimed at enhancing digital literacy and providing technology education to students across India. This partnership seeks to break down barriers in access to education, with a particular focus on underrepresented communities, ensuring that students from all backgrounds have the skills they need to succeed in the rapidly evolving digital economy.

Under this initiative a five-day graphic design masterclass was conducted for students at Nari Siksha Mandir Balika Vidyalaya, near Shyambazar in Kolkata, in October 2024. This hands-on training, which included a comprehensive online certification program, marked the beginning of what is planned to be a nationwide effort to equip thousands of students with essential skills for the future.

A Vision to Expand Digital Education Nationwide

The core mission of this partnership is clear:

• To provide digital literacy and technology education to students at scale, reaching far beyond a single institution or city.
• The goal is to make technology education a universal resource for every student, regardless of their location or socio-economic status.

Scope Gaming Community and Red Apple Learning have set their sights on reaching thousands of students from diverse backgrounds, schools, and regions across India in the coming months and years.

“At Scope Gaming Community, we are passionate about breaking barriers to digital education,” said Abhik Charkaborty, spokesperson for Scope Gaming Community. “The partnership with Red Apple Learning is a strategic step toward achieving our long-term goal of providing accessible, high-quality digital education to students across India. The graphic design masterclass at Nari Siksha Mandir is just the first of many such programs we plan to roll out in the coming months.”

This initiative aims to not only teach students practical skills in graphic design, but also open up a wider world of opportunities in digital media, creative industries, and technology—fields that are becoming central to the modern workforce. With more and more industries relying on digital content and creativity, digital literacy is no longer optional; it’s essential.

A Hands-On Learning Experience

The five-day training program commenced with an industrial seminar at Nari Siksha Mandir Balika Vidyalaya, where students were introduced to the fundamentals of graphic design, as well as its growing significance in industries such as digital marketing, advertising, entertainment, and e-commerce. Experts from the design industry shared valuable insights into the evolving career opportunities within the creative and tech sectors, providing students with real-world perspectives.

Following the seminar, Red Apple Learning’s expert instructors conducted a four-day online workshop where students learned:

• Essential design principles
• Color theory
• Typography
• Layout design
• And many more…
• With hands-on practice with industry-standard tools.

Students were given the opportunity to apply their knowledge to practical projects, receiving personalized feedback and building the confidence they need to create digital content.

At the end of the program, students who demonstrated proficiency were awarded Certificates of Completion on 12th November 2024, marking the successful acquisition of new digital skills.

“We are incredibly pleased with how the first batch of students responded to the program,” said Samiran Biswas, Education Head of Red Apple Learning. “Not only did they master technical design skills, but they also demonstrated creativity and problem-solving, which are key to thriving in any digital field. This initiative is helping to build a foundation for students to explore career paths in design, digital media, and beyond.”

A Special Thank You to Principal Smt. Sanchita Malakar

This successful program would not have been possible without the strong support of Principal Smt. Sanchita Malakar and her leadership at Nari Siksha Mandir Balika Vidyalaya. Her commitment to providing students with access to diverse learning opportunities has played a key role in ensuring that this initiative could be carried out smoothly and effectively.

“We would like to express our deepest gratitude to Principal Malakar for her unwavering support,” said Abhik Chakraborty from Scope Gaming Community. “Her forward-thinking approach to education and her dedication to ensuring that her students have access to the skills they need to succeed in the modern world made this initiative a reality. She has been instrumental in setting the stage for future programs.”

Under Principal Malakar’s leadership, Nari Siksha Mandir Balika Vidyalaya has consistently demonstrated a commitment to innovative education, ensuring that students are prepared for the challenges and opportunities of the digital age. The school’s participation in this initiative is a testament to their proactive approach in expanding access to technology education.

CSR Commitment to Digital Literacy for All

Scope Gaming Community and Red Apple Learning have partnered to promote digital literacy and inclusive education across India. Red Apple Learning provides training, certification, and support, with the aim of expanding access to digital skills nationwide, especially for students in underrepresented communities.

“We’re opening doors to digital design and technology for students who might not have had the chance,” said Priya Das, Administrative Head of Red Apple Learning. “This is just the beginning of our mission to democratize digital education across the country.”

The program at Nari Siksha Mandir Balika Vidyalaya is one of many initiatives in this CSR campaign. Over the coming years, the partnership will offer similar programs in schools and colleges nationwide, focusing on digital skills like coding, video editing, and 3D modeling.

“We’re excited about the impact this initiative will have in shaping a future where digital literacy is accessible to all students,” said Abhik Chakraborty from Scope Gaming Community.

This partnership is the first step in a broader effort to equip students with the skills needed for a technology-driven future, aiming to reach thousands across India.
