2.3 million marginalised rural women brought under digital literacy by GP with Nokia
The campaign has already created a great response to those areas with the slogan "The world of GP internet is for everyone".
Grameenphone CEO Yasir Azman inaugurated the campaign in an informal ceremony. Involved campaign officials of Grameenphone, Nokia, and Salextra Limited were also present at the ceremony. The campaign partnership is being managed by Salextra Limited, the sole Bangladeshi distributor and manufacturer of Nokia Mobile. Nokia's role as the exclusive device partner in this campaign is significant, as it brings its expertise and resources to the table, enhancing the impact of the campaign.
This local company manufactures Nokia phones from its factory located in Tongi and distributes them all over the country.
Through this campaign, women from remote areas all over the country are getting proper Digital Literacy training where they can learn the actual concept of how to use the Internet. Those women are gradually becoming educated in the Digital Literacy sector. They are learning practically the pros and cons of the Internet, the use of the Internet in personal life, and how to keep safe from its misuse. This training will be the gateway to becoming a successful entrepreneur.
So far, GP has provided Digital Literacy training to more than 23 lac remote women in 17 districts.
Nokia, as the exclusive device partner with GP in this campaign, is offering smartphone models that include the C32, C22, and C12 Pro. Nokia offers those smartphones at a reasonable price, and GP offers 26 GB of free data bundle internet in this campaign.
