The tablets have specifically been configured for the use of academically illiterate and semi-literate women of Bihar. As a proof of concept, training programmes were conducted for two sets of women from different JEEViKA groups. The ease and speed with which these women were able to understand and learn to use the little computers (STAMP tablets) was not only amazing but an eye-opener for all concerned.
In a training programme of one and a half days, the women were able to operate the STAMP tablets and learn to comfortably navigate to different folders to select and run the videos of their choice. It was the unanimous opinion of all these women that these devices would be extremely useful for them and their children.
