    CYPTEC on Wheels
 The objective of taking ICT to rural areas where people neither have access nor the resources was fulfilled through   the CYPTEC on Wheels. This is a mobile van fitted with computers, which moves from one place to another to   bring awareness among the disadvantaged sections of society. This helps train the unemployed youth force and   provides  them with better job opportunities. They learn the basics of ICT and enhance their skills, thus enabling   them to  contribute in the national economic growth as well as their individual/family economic growth.

  Objectives –

Narrowing the digital divide between the privileged and the less privileged
Taking ICT to rural/urban youth and schools, which are otherwise deprived of such opportunities, and training them at their doorstep
Empowering rural/urban youth through easy access to learning computer skills and increased awareness
Ensuring their productive participation in national development
Encouraging rural/urban youth to take part in ICT education
Setting up an example for development conscious individuals and organizations to contribute towards integrating ICT education in rural developments efforts
 Through this van, CYP Asia Centre also plans to spread  various messages on number of social issue such as :
