Aptech ties up with Mumbai NGO for IT training

Aptech will provide free IT training to DEED's students at
its Mumbai center

Aptech Ltd has announced a tie-up with Mumbai-based NGO,
DEEDS (Development, Educa-tion, Empowerment of the Disadvantaged in Society), to
provide free IT training to its students at Aptech's Ghat-kopar, Mumbai
center. DEEDS endeavors to 'turn disabilities into abilities' and is
synony-mous with the deaf in society. Aptech, as part of its continu-ing
societally conscious initiati-ves, will provide free IT training and courseware
to DEEDS students in the first phase of its tie-up with the NGO.

Pramod Khera, CEO and MD, Aptech Ltd said, "We're
pleased to be associated with DEEDS to further the cause of IT literacy. At
Aptech, we believe that Corporate Social Respon-sibility is an integral part of
an organization's overall com-mitment to society. Through the years our
societally con-scious activities have reflected our company's philosophy:
giving back something to society of which we are a part. Apart from courses for
stud-ents and professionals, we have in the past also designed special
courseware for other citizens."

A spokesperson from DEEDS said, "We celebrate the
beginn-ing of a special relationship with Aptech. As an organizat-ion committed
to playing a lar-ger role in helping the needy, this tie-up with Aptech will add
another dimension to our pro-grams and I am confident IT skills thus garnered
will stand our students in good stead."
