[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Jinju City, Gyeongnam Province announced on the 26th that it will promote the 'Love Green PC Distribution Project' to improve access to information for the information-vulnerable class and to bridge the information gap in the local community.

The 'Love Green PC Distribution Project,' which has been promoted annually by Gyeongnam Province and Jinju City, is a project that refurbishes used PCs donated by public institutions and distributes them free of charge, receiving great response from the information-vulnerable class.

The specifications of the computers distributed this year are CPU Core i3 or higher, HDD 250GB or higher, and LCD monitor 19 inches or larger. The distributed computers can receive free A/S for one year through repair companies.

Eligibility for application includes information-vulnerable groups residing in Jinju City who have not had the opportunity to participate in the educational informatization project since January 2019, as well as nonprofit organizations such as welfare facilities.

The application period is from March 29 to the end of April. Applicants can download the application form and consent forms for personal information collection and administrative information joint use from the news section of the Jinju City website, fill them out, and apply at the resident's eup/myeon office or dong administrative welfare center.

The selection results will be notified individually via text message on May 21. The distribution period is from July to December, during which technicians from commissioned specialized companies will visit the target households in order to install the computers.

A Jinju City official said, "We will do our best to provide broad and diverse learning opportunities in the field of informatization to strengthen the informatization capabilities of citizens."
