Special emphasis was placed on accessing government portals, digital welfare schemes, and adopting basic cyber safety practices. The training was delivered through interactive demonstrations, step-by-step guidance, and practical exercises, enabling participants to actively engage with digital tasks and overcome challenges related to technology adoption, particularly those faced by Self-Help Groups. As a result, participants demonstrated improved digital awareness and foundational technology skills, increased confidence in using smartphones and internet-based services, enhanced understanding of digital governance platforms, greater willingness to adopt cashless transactions and digital communication, and a positive attitude toward digital inclusion and technological empowerment.
