Information Kiosk in Every Village?
•In July 2004
M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation and One World South Asia launched an ambitious national alliance to extend the reach of ICTs
to all 600,000
villages in India by 2007
•Does it
make sense to invest so much in a country's IT infrastructure without a sound application
base and economic
justification?
•Is the PC
the right mode of delivery? Some
estimate that the cost
of an info-centre exceeds a village's gross yearly output
