Alfa byte- it’s a family

The group of people stays together with love and respect and understands each other is called family. I visited Alfa Byte computer institute in Indapur on first day of the Yatra. I met to Tushar Ranjankar, president of the institute. We had nice interaction for some time. I interacted with students of the institute. I asked a question to a student, What is your opinion about this institute? He just replied,”it is not only an institute, it is a family”. I liked the answer very much. I stayed there for a day. Really it is a family.


There are no workers, sweepers or watchman. Students manages all the things. They wakes up early in the morning, cleans the whole area, and starts their day after doing Yogasan and Suryanamskar. They stays together, they loves and respects each other, they learns together and teaches each other. They manage the institute within less expenses so maximum poor and village students can take benefits of the computer education within less fees. Tushar Ranjankar wants to give computer education to maximum students who can not afford high fees in other computer institute. He is a past student of Student Welfare Association, Pune. He implemented all the good things in Alfa byte, what he learned in SWA. There is ‘Earn and learn’ scheme for the students. He arranges different activities like group discussion, personality development programs, guest lectures etc. Tushar Ranjankar invites great personalities in the institute to interact with students, so students can feel confident and get inspiration from them.

Students of the institute says that, “ Tushar sir is our teacher, guide, mentor, and role model. He is just like a elder brother in our family.

Tushar is well educted, he could have got job in good company, he could have opened computer institute in Pune or any other city, but he says, it was my dream to teach poor students in villages, when I came back after completing my education in 1995, I realised that computer education is the need of village students. So I started teaching with one computer and now we have a nice institute with defferent courses and special departments.
