“Creating affordable ICT services in ruler areas is a complex challenge”. Comment on this.
Answer:
Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) can make a significant contribution to economic growth and social development of communities. However, in rural areas there are challenges that appear to slow down the progress and the realisation of the impact of ICTs. These ICT challenges include poor infrastructure, technological illiteracy, high costs of ICTs etc.
-Extreme physical conditions including
remote and isolated villages.
-Inadequate infrastructure.
-Hill areas and natural hurdles.
-High illiteracy rate especially in semi
urban and village areas.
-Techno phobia of villagers to adopt
technology
-Inappropriate supply of Electricity and
connectivity.
