SIGHT Gramina Digital Hub is an IEEE SIGHT/HAC Funded Project with a project funding of $4000 in which a digital hub was successfully set up in Kulanada Grama Panchyat.

After the successful completion of the project, the IEEE SIGHT Chengannur College of Engineering has established a village-level digital hub in Kulanada Punnakunnu Scheduled Caste (SC) Colony. The hub now serves as a centralized location providing appropriate solutions for the socially relevant issues identified in the area. With the support of the local community and the Pandalam block Panchayat, a previously non-functional building has been transformed into a fully functional hub.

The digital hub is equipped with a solar electrification system, ensuring uninterrupted power supply to meet the needs of the community. A state-of-the-art smart classroom has been installed, allowing students to access online education resources and keep up with their studies. Additionally, a well-stocked library has been established, providing residents with a wide range of books and educational materials.

The hub also features emergency health and sanitation facilities, ensuring the well-being of the community members. Proper waste management systems have been implemented, promoting cleanliness and hygiene within the area.

The completion of the project has led to an increase in standards of living within the marginalized community of Kulanada Grama Panchayat, ward number 8. The residents now have access to digital literacy programs, empowering them with the necessary skills to navigate the digital world. Skill development programs and counseling sessions are regularly conducted, enhancing the employability and well-being of the community members.

Overall, the project has successfully mitigated poverty and paved the way for a sustainable future for the marginalized community. The digital hub serves as a catalyst for positive change, uplifting the residents of Kulanada Punnakunnu Scheduled Caste Colony and creating opportunities for a better life.
