India is known to be the land of villages. Imparting digital education to the rural parts of India can help the country prosper in leaps and bounds. It is important for the village councils to get digitized with suitable tech training as we also have e- governance.
Statistics say that in the Indian Panchayat Raj Ministry, there are 245,525 panchayat offices, including 582 zila panchayats, 6,299 block panchayats and 238,644 gram panchayats. Of these, only 58,291panchayats have computers. Most computers in these panchayats are non-functional or there is no one with adequate skill to handle the computers.
Panchayats remain the most potent level of governance to work with for development. The government deals with all 29 development-related subjects. What we need now are honest leaders and introduction of technology in these villages to bridge the gap between rural and urban India and make ground breaking developments.
