Reliance launches package for the young

With a view to popularising broadband Internet among the students of Rajasthan, Reliance Webworld launched the "Little Genius" in Jaipur recently.

The programme is designed for children in the age group 7"�13 years. They will be taught how to use computers and various Internet applications on Real Broadband.

Reliance Infocomm's Rajasthan Circle CEO, Umesh Bhandari, said Webworld was offering a speed of 250-300 kilobytes per second per computer, unlike the usual speed of 50-60 kilobytes per second received at home.

The aim is to familiarise students with the Internet. Many students visited Webworld and learnt various internet applications and video conferencing. They also tried their hand at online gaming.

Bhandari said the initiative had received a good response in Jaipur and other cities. A similar programme for housewives has also been started. "The idea is to bring mother and child together to experience broadband Internet," he said.

The programme familiarises children with search engines, educational websites providing access to audio-visual sites, video chat facilities, text chat, e-mail, and messenger tools available on the World Wide Web.

The programme would help children learn various MS Office applications, which include Word, Excel and PowerPoint and MS Paint. The game box for online gaming is also an added advantage of the workshop Reliance Webworld is a nationwide chain of retail outlets for all Infocomm products and services.

Reliance Webworld also provides a one-stop shop for digital information, and entertainment and communication in Real Broad Band.
