Abstract
Abstract: The present era of globalization is based on knowledge and information as it directly affects the economic, social, cultural and political activities of all the regions of the world. Governments worldwide haverealized the role that Information and Communication Technologies (ICT’s) can play in socio-economic development and India is no exception to this. Majority of Indian population resides in rural areas and their isolation has restricted them from contributing to the national mainstream, adversely affecting the country’s growth. Even after 60 years of independence, rural India has remained poor while the remaining country has developed by leaps and bounds. Rural India is regarded information-poor and characterized by severe poverty, illiteracy, lack of health services, lack of employment and overall backwardness. Only the proper implementation of ICT’s can play a pivotal role in their overall development, especially in the sectors of health,education and government services. To supplement ICT service delivery, Government of India has the National IT Policy in place and is also on the verge of launching the massive Digital India programme. But this requiresdauntless will power & confidence, effective monitoring, local services & technology combined with lots of hard work.
