Abstract
A lot of children do not have access to a standard school environment with good teaching facilities, especially in government and unaided schools and most of the students are deprived of the advantage of computer literacy due to lack of facilities. Sankya, a pro-social initiative in e-education, intends to create a virtual network connecting schools, teachers and children through a framework that will facilitate dissemination of information and knowledge to a larger section of children. This paper analyses the impact of computer education and its utility in schools and organisations that were using computers donated by Sankya.
