The project methodology is as follows:

1. Conduct survey to determine extent of ICT penetration in schools
2. Enter into arrangement with State Education Department to ensure duty waiver
3. Identify schools
4. Determine lab infrastructure and software
5. Arrange teacher training and curriculum development
6. Source and ship computers
7. Refurbish and maintain the equipment
8. Encourage after-hours community access

One example of an initiative undertaken at Sangolda, Goa involves the installation of a PC that was simply turned on (no instruction was provided). Children from migrant labourer families, who lived in small one-room shacks with no running water and few electrical connections and who attended school only rarely, used the facility. Programme organisers claim that the children were able to begin understanding the basics of computing almost intuitively without a computer curriculum whereby they were "taught" applications.

The Goa Chamber of Commerce claims that India has a high drop-out rate at the secondary school level.

To date, the Goa government has provided about 750 PC's to to Goa's 350 secondary schools, thus enabling every school in Goa to have at least 1 PC. GSCP has provided 100 schools with 450 recycled PCs, which has reduced the PC-to-student ratio to 1:60.

The project is run under the auspicies of Goa Sudharop Community Development, a US-based non-profit organisation.
