New Delhi: A residential course in software programming was launched by the Delhi Skill and Entrepreneurship University (DSEU) on Tuesday in an effort to make skilling aspirational, accessible and inclusive for women and trans women. The six-month residential programme will give girls and trans women an opportunity to study and flourish in the technological world, according to a statement.

Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Education and MLA from Kalkaji constituency, Atishi Marlena, inaugurated the program with 84 students in its first batch.

In a statement, the university further mentioned that it will be running a fully-funded residential 20-month advanced diploma course in software programming in collaboration with a non-profit organisation, NavGurukul.

Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Education Atishi Marlena said, “We are in the 21st century surrounded by technology where Google answers all our questions in mere seconds and yet we are to spend 14 years in the formal education system."

“Those 14 years tell us what one can and cannot study. With this programme in coding and programming, the effort is to challenge these notions by encouraging students with strong logic to pursue a career in the tech world,” she added.
