After Screen and Off-Set Printing, inmates of Observation Home in Ranchi now will get training in computer education. Acting Chief Justice of Jharkhand High Court Justice DN Patel while inaugurating ‘Training Programme for Children in Conflict with law’ at the Vocation Training Hall here on Tuesday said that he had a list of employers who were willing to absorb the children trained by them in their organizations. It is a rare phenomenon in the entire Country, he added.
“We have a list of the employers who want these children to absorb in their organization for which the entire team including the Social and Child Welfare Department, trainers as well as the officials of Observation Home needs to be congratulated,” said Justice Patel. He also appealed the children to take part in the training programme wholeheartedly as there was no dearth of work in the market.
“Hindi typists have a huge demand in the market….there are lot of work for Hindi Typists in Courts also. Hence, get your training properly, I assure you that we will arrange work for you as soon as you get yourself properly trained in it,” said the Acting Chief Justice. Besides that computer education is a must for everyone in this age of technology which helps a person to get his answers in one click, he added.
“I am also trying to make such an arrangement that the computer you will be working on will become yours after few months after deducting a part of your earning you will be making through it as EMI,’ said Justice Patel. He, however, requested the children not to damage the computers while learning on it and try to work in such a way that it could be preserved for the next batch.
