ICT – Crucial for rural development

Abstract

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) can be powerful tool for narrowing down the digital divide between IT rich and IT poor and thus providing the upliftment to the real India. Our government and society should work together to display ICT in rural areas so as to accelerate the economic and social growth. This paper examines the present scenario of India’s agriculture growth and how ICT can contribute in making the agriculture taskforce to be major contributor to India’s economy. We can envision spreadsheets distilling mountains of figures into easily usable information.
