Kamal Kumar Ghanshala, Durgesh Pant · Information Technology Interfaces · 2013
While studying the effectiveness of IT-initiatives in Uttarakhand state, a hill state in the central Himalayan region in India, it was realized that unless technology reaches and benefits the last man, it is way beyond its intended role. The present paper puts forward the concept of Inclusive-IT which can counter the asymmetries cropping up because of the rising differentiation between informatics haves and have-nots. The present work takes into account the conceptual issues related to the information technology initiatives in the state of Uttarakhand.
