COVID-19's current state of affairs is inspiring people to migrate into the digital realm and comprehend society's evolving standards. Given the current condition of circumstances, it is critical to understand digitalization as a novel notion emerging in our society. Aarti Paratwagh, a 15-year-old student at Madhyamik Vidyalaya Government Secondary School, is in the 10th grade. She had always done well in school, but she lacked the necessary training to pursue her dream of becoming a teacher. She learned about a free digital literacy training being offered by the Y4D Foundation in cooperation with Alfa Laval and the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) at a local location and took the opportunity. Digital literacy training helped her pursue her passion by broadening her mind to new conceptions of 'teaching.' She learned how to teach classes in a group setting and did well in the training modules. Soon after, she began giving friends and neighbor’s sessions on topics such as online introductions, internet usage, and social media, as well as assisting them in training additional people in digital literacy. She currently conducts Internet awareness and social media sessions for her classmates at school, as well as for her family and neighbors. She is now a facilitator, and she is content to follow her passion and live her ambition to the utmost. This is the type of empowerment is commendable and Y4D is looking forward to have many more Aarti in-ground as a result of our interventions.
