According to Govt. Statistics more than 85% schools are still without computers. In this situation the future of these kids are in Dark. Inamdar sir’s approach is different, he says appreciate the Govt. for whatever progress we have made so far.. And with public private model install technology education hubs in the poor areas of the city and villages.

Today we should forget about all difference of cast , race , religion and orthodoxies and embrace technology to its full extent. His vision to impart the best knowledge to the youngest kids as their grasping and adaptability is on peak at this age.

Through his tested model of ICT Scheme in last 6 years he has shown that if a dedicated approach should be adopted to impart ICT knowledge to the poor and needy students at the age of 6 to 18 these students can create wonders.

There are many schools in Maharashtra and in India where millions of brilliant but poor students are away from computer facilities, school management is not able to provide them facilities beyond subject teaching and classrooms.

The students coming out from these computer centers are no longer strangers from ICT knowledge and can compete with any international school students when it comes to ICT performance.
