Hi ,
Sorry if it soudned so. Will like to take it back.
However let me explain what i meant.
because of systemic issues - the children hardly get into engineering and technology education.
most of them drop out during their 10+2.
some folks become accountants or join b.com evening college ( this is what the bright kids who some how cross through all hurdles maybe 10% of the lot)
so if some one can train them on tally or someone get a certification from know software company - closed or open - will help them get jobs...
something like mutlimedia design which can leverage on current skills - where folks can get jobs independent of degree bckground etc.
in fact we want some one to look at free software oppurtuities - which have viability in the market..will be happy if we can get any help
regards senthil

Why the name Slum Needs? Sounds very discriminating.
