Surveys • Survey of your locality to get the database of non IT literate people so that they can be targeted. • Eg: On Dec 2 IT Literacy day, students can go and provide information about IT and distribute pamphlets of the nearby ALC.
Internet & Social networking sites • Majority of the students are on social networking sites like orkut,facebook etc • We can exploit the same to promote MS-CIT using online forums apart from our MKCL website • Also, pointers/ads on newspapers websites will work good. • eg: E-sakal
