Enriching the Lives of the Marginalised Communities of India through Quality Education, Skill development,
Livelihood generation, Healthcare, Environment safety, Disaster response and Agriculture Initiatives
RuralIT is a Rural Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) initiative of Lord Buddha Educational that enables rural youth to create wealth for themselves by honing their computer and English skills for world class service delivery. It is an attempt to move rural India from the edge to the center of the new economy by using innovative technology for last-mile connectivity and best business practices.
RuralIT is dedicated to bringing economic expansion into the hinterland and has a vision for the future of Rural India – we call it SMART Sourcing – Serving Markets and Accelerating Rural Transformation.
Model
RuralIT – the Rural BPO model of Lord Buddha Educational – addresses issues of sustainable wealth creation in villages through the twin channels of employment and technology. The model focuses on the village BPO being a supplier of quality services at a competitive price to Indian corporates and Government. The supply side indicators of an increasing base of educated youth, the demand side caused by the demand for support services from a growing corporate India and availability of enablers like electrical and telecommunication connec-tivity have made it possible for Information Technology Enabled Services (ITES) to be “exported” from the village economy.
Today, there are four RuralIT centers in different districts. At each center, the rural youth who join RuralIT after a rigorous selection process are put through a 12-week full time training programme that improves their fluency in English, reading writing, speaking and comprehension. They are imparted computer skills and keyboarding ability to a minimum of 40 words per minute. Each one of them is put through a Six sigma Green Belt Training Programme and their appreciation of the concepts and techniques is tested.
Impact
The impact is multifaceted:
» Employment for the people employed in the BPO.
» The multiplier effect of the rupee being spent in the village because of the non-migratory nature of the employment.
» Demand for more and better basic services in the villages.
» Availability of educated and working role models in the village and the impact it will have for the next generation.
» Wealth created by one RuralIT (Rural BPO) center is equivalent to that of 500 acres of wet land.
