We are delighted to share a moment of great pride, joy, and celebration with you! The MS-CIT (Maharashtra State Certificate in Information Technology) course, which has empowered millions of citizens across Maharashtra with digital literacy and digital skills, has been honoured with the prestigious SKOCH Award under the Corporate Excellence category. Recognized as one of India's most respected awards, the SKOCH Award celebrates initiatives that create meaningful social impact, drive innovation, and contribute significantly to nation-building. The recognition of MS-CIT at the national level is a testament to the transformative impact that this programme has created over the years.

This award does not belong to MKCL alone — this award belongs to you! It belongs to every ALC Coordinator who has welcomed learners, guided them on their digital learning journey, and inspired them to embrace technology with confidence.

It belongs to every Learning Facilitator who has passionately and tirelessly trained learners, helping them acquire essential digital skills for education, employment, entrepreneurship, and everyday life. And it belongs to the entire ALC family that has worked relentlessly over the past two decades to make MS-CIT one of the largest and most impactful digital literacy movements in the country.

Today, because of your dedication and commitment, millions of students, youth, women, senior citizens, and citizens from all walks of life have become digitally empowered. Countless individuals have gained access to new opportunities, enhanced their employability, and developed the confidence to participate effectively in the digital world.

The SKOCH Award is much more than a recognition—it is a national acknowledgement of your hard work, unwavering commitment, and invaluable contribution towards social transformation through digital literacy. It reflects the extraordinary impact that your efforts have created in communities across Maharashtra.

On this remarkable achievement, we extend our heartfelt congratulations and sincere gratitude to you.

This honour would not have been possible without your passion, perseverance, and continuous contribution. You are the true ambassadors of MS-CIT and the real architects of this success.

Let us celebrate this milestone together and continue our journey with renewed energy, enthusiasm, and determination to build a more digitally empowered, skilled, and developed Maharashtra.
