The Rural development plays a significant role for the growth of economy in India. In the current scenario our main focus is on poverty alleviation, better employment, provision of basic services and infrastructure facilities as far as rural development is concerned. The infusion of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is playing a prominent role in strengthening these demands. ICT in Rural Development can not only speed up the development process but bring the educationally and technologically backward and forward sections of the society on the common platform. Bridging the digital divide also bridges the overall infrastructural gap and addresses other constraints faced by rural areas.
