Information and communication technologies providing new access and approaches for rural development and different communities are getting benefit from these technologies, but still there is gap among rural people and communication technologies especially farmers of rural areas in developing countries have no proper access of such technologies to get latest information about market, weather, pesticides, commodity prices and new production of seed. However, such kind of technologies are creating and generating new practices and innovations for agriculture and education development in remote areas. In the context of the developing countries lack of knowledge among teachers and students have also effected in development of education. There is need to provide opportunities these communities and deliver the infrastructure in rural areas for making their lives easy. Such technologies should introduce primary school level and establish computer, labs and centres to provide access of internet. Furthermore, government and related agencies should provide trainings to farmers for agriculture development in remote areas of countries.
