In 2018, India@75 Foundation launched the Functional Literacy Programme (FLiP) to help the unorganized sector navigate the digital space. FLiP is essentially a three-module programme scientifically designed for easy dissemination and absorption.
To scale up this Programme to rural India, FLiP-on-Wheels was initiated through adaption of the Functional Literacy Programme (FLiP). It seeks to widen the reach of FLiP by taking digital literacy to the doorsteps of the underserved communities in rural India. It aims to reach the vulnerable sections who lack the awareness and knowledge to access digital devices and technologies and make them digitally literate.
The FoW model is unique in its approach as it takes the learning to the doorsteps of the beneficiaries. The FLiP-on-Wheels pilot uses a van, equipped with teaching aids and manned by a facilitator and a mobilizer. The van tours villages, stopping by each village at a designated time every day for a span of 6-10 days. Until now, 2 phases of FLiP-on-Wheels have successfully been implemented in partnership with the civil society organisations that work with rural and semi-urban communities.

“In the FLiP-on-Wheels Training programme, I came to know about the Pradhan Mantri Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP) which helps people like me get loans to start their business. During the training program, I was able to fill in my PMEGP form. I think I will now be able to start my business.”
"I am happy that this programme helped me to learn and use new digital tools for getting appropriate information, articles, audio books and latest guidelines on the examination patterns as they will be very useful for me in my studies."
