Swanand Kadam, a 23-year-old Indian enthusiastic Computer engineer from Pune, Maharashtra, has maneuvered this issue. He firmly believes that “Programming needs to reach every part of India if we have to produce quality startups and technically sound ecosystem. Language and unfamiliarities should not become a barrier to these students to learn to code.”


We cannot agree more with this abstraction. It is not computer literacy that we should be working on, but a sort of human-literacy. Computers have to become human-literate.

The Serious Question would be, Can You Truly Learn To CODE EVER?

To be a programmer is to sign yourself up for a life of constant learning. The fountain of new — new features, new languages, new tools, new frameworks—never stops gushing.
If the above quote describes you somehow, and the only thing that stops you is the language or the intimidating word Programming, you should start coding now.


As a rule, software systems do not work well until they have been used and have failed repeatedly in real applications. So if you don’t fail on your first try, then It s definitely something fishy going on.


According to Chintu from Whitehat jr., every kid needs to develop apps from his/her tender age. It is important for kids and young ones to understand and work with and understand the technology around them. Having children learn coding at a young age prepares them for the future. Coding helps children with communication, creativity, math, writing, and confidence.


Well, now the tables have turned. Even Chintu’s parents can start coding as well!
People who had fundamental to none knowledge in programming can code undoubtedly. Those who had difficulty comprehending keywords usually in English can code in Hindi and Marathi, adding support to more languages.

    P.s I am not against the coding courses or kids starting early. Its just that I dnt feel comfortable about the idea.

    1. True, I tried to endow the kids learning at their young age in a sarcastic way and one should not promote this rat race and let kids enjoy their own childhood time.
