Most adults due to their perceived limited needs for using mobile phones often face difficulty and hitch to adapt to the new age advent of personal digital assistants (PDAs) and its mobile application services. To cater to this difficulty faced by adults, DJJS Manthan SVK has enabled awareness and growth opportunities through the SYAHI - Adult Literacy Programme, where adults can learn in the comfort of their homes, to use smartphones, which combines the functionality of a personal digital assistant which plays a pivotal role in improving their quality of life, for example, by keeping them connected with loved ones, maintaining contact information, using social media applications etc.

In light of this, DJJS Manthan SVK conducted a 10-day Technical Grooming workshop from 16th – 28th January, 2023 for people of ages 40 years and above. It received immense enthusiastic participation with over 71 enrolments. The participants were groomed on various topics such as the basics of smartphones and apps like Google Meet, Gmail, WhatsApp, Google Forms, Google Assistance, YouTube Instagram, Facebook, DJJS app etc. Topics such as phone settings comprising language, ringtone, alarm etc were taught as well. Basics of photography, video-calling, frame-setting and camera settings were also discussed. On the last day of the workshop, volunteers conducted a quiz as a revision for the rest of the days.

Participants also shared how the sessions were informative which fostered self-esteem and confidence for them. They were keen on further enhancing their knowledge and requested the volunteers to organize an advanced learning workshop as it would greatly benefit them. With the benign grace of Divya Guru Shri Ashutosh Maharaj Ji, such workshops are paving the way for adults to develop their technical skills and cope with the advancing technology.
