Current Affairs - Important Days - Discussion

World Computer Literacy Day is observed every year on December 2 to emphasise the importance of digital education and equitable access to technology. Established in 2001 by NIIT Limited, the day initially aimed at improving computer skills among women and children but has since expanded to over 30 countries. In 2025, its relevance is even more significant due to the increasing dependence on digital platforms for communication, banking, education, and employment. The observance encourages workshops, training programs, and awareness campaigns that help bridge the digital divide and empower people with essential technological skills for personal and economic growth.
