摘要：In many schools across India, access to information and communication technology (ICT) is still a rare privilege. While the Annual Status of Education Report in India (2013) showed a marginal uptick in the amount of computers, the opportunities for chi ldre n to use those computers have remained stagnant. The lack of access to ICT is especially common in India's urban slum areas, which is privy to the "Matthew Effect" ( Merton, 1968 ) where the poor become poorer based in part on the sc arcity of high - tech resou rces. This article's purpose is to describe and report on ICT program interventions that target young people living in India's slums. Specifically , the article examines a case study of a grassroots effort, called the community computing model , in Bangalore , India . Using Amartya Sen's work on nyaya and Paulo Freire's work on con s cientization, t he article explains how t his model of community computing infused and developed a social justice oriented and deeper "critical consciousness" of the slum community where this computer center was situated
