- Bihar Villages To See Internet Revolution
- Ambarish Dutta, Patna, December 17, 2007
-
The TribuneThis crucial cow belt of India is set to see Internet revolution in its villages.
After completing two years in office on November 24, the Nitish government is now working on an ambitious project that plans to take information technology to the grassroots level of this underdeveloped state by setting up common service centres called Vasudha.
The plan, reportedly conceptualised by the cyber-friendly deputy chief minister of Bihar, Sushil Modi, is expected to turn the dream of state’s rural folks to surf Internet at their villages into a reality in the near future.
Sources disclosed that the SREI had already been given a “letter of intent” by the Bihar State Electronic Development Corporation, the nodal agency of the Bihar government for the implementation of e-governance, to develop Vasudha centres in villages.
The proposed Vasudha would be named after “SREI Sahaj e-Village” and would be set up in e-kiosks.
Besides housing Vasudha, the e-kiosks would reportedly also function as the delivery point for e-governance as well as e-learning centres where the youth could access distant education modules and vocational skills other than normal Internet access.
In the first phase, it has been decided to open 5,540 Vasudha centres across the state. The state Cabinet had also approved funds for the development of the required software by the TATA Consultancy Services.
To begin with, the government reportedly planned to link eight departments to Vasudha to provide information and services for mutual purposes like weather forecast, commodity rates, agricultural counselling, health and hygiene. The issuance of birth and death certificates and land records would also be available on the net on the payment of nominal fees.
