Education
is the backbone of the country’s development. No economy can flourish
without intelligent and competent human resource. The question arises
who are responsible for making it possible? Definitely, Everyone!
Not just the public, but private organizations have immense corporate
social responsibility to act as an upstanding member of the society and
deliver value to the natives of the country. Telenor Pakistan realizes
that education is the need of time, therefore have taken the initiative
to come up with project”Telenor I-Champ”.
Telenor Pakistan has introduced this initiative under the theme of:
“Taleem-o-Tafreeh pe mabni Telenor i-Champ aagay berhtay bachon ke liye
aik roshan mustaqbil ka zarriya hai.”

Telenor I-Champ to create awareness for digital
world
Telenor I-Champ initiated in 2014, is close to the hearts of Telenor
employees and management. Internet is the most significant medium of
knowledge in current era. Unfortunately, many of our children are still
unaware of its effective usage in learning process. The aim of I-Champ
is to educate the underprivileged children from distant locations of
Pakistan with basic internet usage and how they can utilize it in
bringing positive change in their standards of living.
Competition for Learning
Telenor Pakistan with the assistance of i-Champ, plan to promote digital
education in Pakistan. In this regard, Telenor i-Champ in collaboration
with Face book Free Basics has announced a competition in different
schools of Pakistan. I-Champ aims to educate future generation about the
usage of internet. They feel responsible for spreading the insight and
talent to the community and being the torch bearer of the digital world.
The efforts of competition resulted in reaching out and training 632,289
students from more than 1600 schools and making 61,380 on the usage of
Internet and Free Basics. The team of Telenor aims to train and educate
children about the power of internet which they can use in learning. The
team distributed smart phones to students and demonstrated them how they
can search answers to various questions that come to their minds or
while reading certain book. In order to ensure that the information
shared with them stays with them, the students participated in various
rounds of i-Champ competition with the assistance of internet to make
most of the knowledge available in the digital world.
I-Champ brought significant change in the communities it went to and now
in the second round it plans to grow further and tap into remote
localities and acquaint them with the benefits of the internet. We have
added the goal of creating more and more change makers and influencers
in this round for future generations to take note from. There’s a world
of entertainment, knowledge and education waiting for the people of all
ages and backgrounds waiting for them to tap into.
