ABSTRACT
The emergence of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has provided an easy, effective, economic and efficient way to provide various government services and welfare schemes at grass root level. Indian government is also moving towards e-governance, via use of ICT. But, India is a country with huge diversity. As per Socio Economic Caste Census (SECC) 2011, rural India accounted 73 percent of households. People living in these household are having poor literacy rate and not much aware of government's initiatives for upliftment of their lives. These people are engaged in cultivation, casual or manual labour. Lack of awareness, access to ICT and shabby Digital Literacy is preventing them from availing various government schemes and creating the problem of Digital Divide. We carried out a survey to study these reality checks at the ground level and suggested a solution model for bridging the gap of Digital Divide in rural India.
