Tech-Saturday Empowering Government Officers Through Technology
As part of its ongoing commitment to digital capacity building, GAD-IT conducts a monthly initiative called Tech-Saturday. Held on the first Saturday of every month, this program delivers hands-on training to government officers across Maharashtra on emerging technologies and digital tools.
To make learning engaging and accessible, Tech-Saturday includes:
- Interactive quizzes and games
- Live demonstrations by leading IT companies
- Sessions on topics such as Marathi computing, Unicode, Green IT, productivity tools, and cybersecurity
Since its launch on 5th November 2011, Tech-Saturday has expanded to all districts, becoming a cornerstone of Maharashtra’s digital governance efforts. From December 2012, it has been conducted statewide every month.
