IACT's Franchise Model to Boost Odisha's IT Skills

IACT Distributes Computer Education Franchises in Odisha, Boosting 'Digital India' Initiative

BHUBANESWAR, ODISHA – In a significant move to bolster the 'Digital India' campaign and empower the youth of Odisha, the Institute for Advanced Computer Technology (IACT) has announced a major push to distribute its computer education franchises across the state. The initiative aims to bridge the digital divide and provide essential IT skills to students and professionals, particularly in rural and semi-urban areas.

IACT, a well-established and ISO 9001:2008 certified brand in the education sector, has a long-standing presence in India with over 1100 authorized training centers across 28 states. The franchise model is designed to be accessible and profitable, with a low-cost investment and a no-royalty policy, making it an attractive proposition for local entrepreneurs and existing educational institutions.

The expansion into Odisha is a strategic effort to tap into the state's growing demand for skilled professionals in the information technology (IT) sector. With the government of Odisha actively promoting digital literacy and technological advancements, IACT's franchise model aligns perfectly with the state's vision for a digital-first economy.

"Our goal is to bring high-quality, industry-relevant computer education to the doorstep of every aspiring individual in Odisha," said Sanjeev Kumar, Director IACT. "By offering our franchises, we are not just expanding our network; we are creating a network of skilled professionals who will contribute to the state's and the nation's digital growth. This initiative directly supports the 'Digital India' mission by empowering communities from the grassroots level."

The franchise partners will receive comprehensive support from IACT, including curriculum development, marketing, and operational assistance. The courses offered will range from basic computer applications to advanced programs in financial accounting, hardware and networking, programming, and web designing. These courses are designed to provide students with the practical skills needed to secure employment or pursue entrepreneurship in the rapidly evolving digital landscape.

The IACT's decision to focus on Odisha comes at a time when the state is making strides in its technological and educational infrastructure. The government's push for initiatives like 'BharatNetra' and the establishment of a global financial technology hub are creating a fertile ground for skill development programs. IACT's franchise model will complement these efforts by providing a platform for local entrepreneurs to contribute to the skilling ecosystem.

Entrepreneurs, existing coaching centers, and educational institutions in Odisha are encouraged to explore the franchise opportunities with IACT to become a part of this transformative journey. The company believes that this expansion will not only be a profitable venture for its partners but also a significant step towards a more digitally empowered Odisha and, by extension, a stronger 'Digital India.'
