TechShala is an initiative to educate youth and inspire them about how they can make a living by staying in their own city.

As the world moves ahead with technology, TechShala is an exclusive initiative by Shapers - mainly the IT geeks - to educate the youth of Dharamshala about computer technologies, their scope and future perspectives. The Hub is also giving them skill development training because as the city gets smart, the youth must get smarter too. As Dharamshala has a low rate of employment for youngsters, they have to move to another city to make a living. TechShala is an initiative to educate the youth and inspire them about how they can make a living by staying in their own city. TechShala is providing training related to Web Development, which includes HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Jquery, Bootstrap, etc. Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications. Since the commercialization of web development has been a growing industry, the city's youth, if given the right knowledge and environment, can earn and make a good living by helping businesses who wish have websites to sell products, provide services to customers and a lot more. As knowledge of HyperText Markup Language (HTML) and of programming languages is still required to use such software, but the basics can be learned and implemented quickly with the help of help files, technical books, internet tutorials, or face-to-face training.
