Tata Trusts, Google India launch ‘Internet Saathi’

Google India launched a special programme called Internet Saathi to bring more women online, along with Tata Trusts, in Mumbai on Friday. While inaugurating the event, Tata Trusts chairman Ratan Tata said: “When I was in school, there was no access to even a telephone, and today every rickshaw puller and paan wala has access to a cellphone. Some of them have also graduated to smartphones. In addition to access, Internet has brought dignity and self respect to these people. Google as a company has digitized the world and it’s a privilege to work with them towards bringing women online.”
