India was always known for its Rural Development be it vegetation, farming, etc etc. but today after more than 63 years India has made all the possible ways to change the its patent tag of calling it Rural India to IT India. 'Infosys' being the number 1 IT Company around the world is from India, and being an IT Company and with the help of Indian Government it is planning towards giving Rural India a new name and a new identity. A program to be launched by the ministry of IT & communications, computers specially built for rural areas will be deployed in five locations, and then rented out to citizens. “The cost may vary from 15-20 per day. This model may remove the hindrance of affordability in buying computers. The program would cost the government about 45 lakhs. It will also remove the problem of maintenance and repair which is a common problem in many areas. Besides the person can rent it only for the time power is available.
There are few issues that have been found in this project which is named as the 'Sakshat' project regarding the manufacturing and the cost, but if this works out in India i am sure in a few years to come India won't be called as Rural and Illiterate India. The Literacy level in India will obviously rise and also the knowledge (i am not talking about the book knowledge) will also grow. The rural's will have a broader prospect know what's going around the world and not only their town, who knows if this project really works out well we might just see another 'Infosys' from a Rural Population. Never underestimate the power of Internet as they say. I am with the government and think that 'Sakshat Project' should work out for the betterment of an Individual and for the betterment of India.
