New Delhi [India], February 24 (ANI/India PR Distribution): With the invaluable support of the Ambassador of France to India and the Ambassador of India to France, E-mma organization will launch the CodeAtHome initiative in India on International Women's Day.

This initiative joins the stream of many domestic programs including India's highly innovative Atal Tinkering Labs setup in thousands of schools for underprivileged children providing a platform for kids for a technology-enabled future.
