According to Mr Parmod Chawla, Trustee, NNFI , the elearning programme is unique in the sense that with the help of TCS software illiterate people in group of 10-15 can learn to read and write within 48 hours of learning as the TCS software uses the juxtaposition of text, sound and picture on a computer monitor. NNFI plans to take this programme to other golf clubs in the country. There are more than 180 golf clubs in the country.
