ASTRACT

Children in the 21st century are avid users of technology - more so than generations past. This rise in use has led to much attention on the consequences of technology use, and how this impacts children’s brains and their socio-emotional, cognitive and physical development. Much of the research in these fields, especially brain-based research, is in its infancy. Furthermore, it often shows very small correlations between technology use and child outcomes; whether technology causes these outcomes is unclear, and small effect sizes bring questions about real-life implications for children. Despite these issues, policymakers in various states in India have set guidelines for technology use in children, which are often restriction-focused. This paper explores some of the literature on the grant of finance for conducting a research for knowing the impact of technology among poor children in Lucknow. The effects of technology mobile among poor children of Lucknow in terms of their brain, cognitive, socio-emotional and physical development, and summarizes what is clearly demonstrated in the literature. It will also highlights on the source from which we will get the funds for conducting this research and also how this funds will be use.

 

 

INTRODUCTION

The grant of finance for conducting a research for knowing the impact of technology mobile among poor children of Lucknow will respond to the impact of technology among poor children in Lucknow. The effects of technology mobile among poor children of Lucknow in terms of their brain, cognitive, socio-emotional and physical development, and summarizes what is clearly demonstrated in the literature. It will also highlights on the source from which we will get the funds for conducting this research and also how this funds will be use. The proposed research paper is designed in partnership with other NGO’s in Lucknow to see how this challenge can be solved. This project will a provide a two year cycle of professional development studies through this intensive summer study as well as a follow-up year program that will aim on ensuring that the poor children in Lucknow are following the teachings that this project aimed at. The first cycle will begin in 2022 and includes a cohort of 30 dedicated students who will spend time with these poor children in Lucknow to understand the impact of technology mobile on them and how to bridge this gap in other for them to also cope with this technological world. The second phase of this project will begin in summer 2022 with thirty new dedicated students. We begin with the end in mind, by envisioning the characteristics of technology mobile on these poor children in Lucknow.  Finance being granted for this project will ensure a research that supports poor children in Lucknow having access to technology mobile that will improve their academic activities and also foster a culture professional learning on their immediate environment and the goal for this project will be achieved.

 

 

LITERATURE REVIEW

Recently, scholars have studied the impacts of nanotechnology on poverty. Nanotechnology is an emerging technology that uses matter from 0–100 nanometers in size to create novel products. Many believed that it would be useful for both rich and poor households by creating cheap solar cells, water filters and medicines. However, scientists found that the technology has not had a big impact on poverty because nanotechnologies are directed towards issues faced by the rich and do not match the social context of developing countries. For example, most of the research and development on medical applications of nanotechnology focus on diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s. Over 10 times fewer nanotechnology publications are dedicated to diseases that affect poor children, like neonatal infections and diarrhea diseases, despite the fact that childhood diseases cause more deaths than cancer and Alzheimer’s

In addition, nanotechnology firms are not developing products that can help poor children. It is estimated that there are 1,800 nanotechnology-based consumer products on the market, and only 37 of them are designed for children. The products that are designed for children, like mold-resistant stuffed bears and antimicrobial baby bottles, are only accessible to children in wealthy nations. Currently, the nanotechnology revolution is bypassing children, especially poor children.

CONCLUSION

I am pleased to write this letter in support of the grant application submitted by my team and other partner NGO’s throughout the state of Lucknow to implement or execute our project – “A PROPOSAL FOR GRANT OF FINANCE FOR CONDUCTING A RESEARCH FOR KNOWING THE IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY MOBILE AMONG POOR CHILDREEN IN LUCKNOW”. This project helps to address the critical need of the impact of technology mobile on the poor children in Lucknow and find out ways through which we can turn technology mobile into their favor and also bridge the gap between these poor children and technology. The students and the partner NGO’s of this project have all worked many years in this field before and has a great knowledge and experience when it comes to this kind of project. Under this grant, these dynamic partnerships would be leveraged using quality tools and other needful equipment to demonstrate high level of commitments, collaboration and mentoring to improve on opportunities that exist for the poor children in Lucknow through Technology mobile. As a leader of this project, I strongly support our project and the combined efforts of the students and the partner NGO’s to secure funding to advance technology mobile for the poor children in Lucknow state. There is a critical need in Lucknow for these poor children to overcome the challenge of technology mobile and I strongly believe that our project would be helpful and beneficial.
