Information technology for Rural Development

In this present time people are really adopting new technologies. Here we can take one example of mobile phone. In 19^th century all are using land line to talk with , was so expensive and not available everywhere but then all people started using mobile phones which was having black and white screen and number keypad. Now days we can see all nearly 60% of people including children above 5 years age can able to use smart phone. Gradually the rural atmosphere is also changing and people are moving to urban areas. But still it needs so much development in rural areas. As our prime minister Mr. Narendra Modi said the development should start from rural. It is because all people depend on rural sector for food and food and nutrition is essential for all of us. So it is necessary to make development in rural sector.

So we can see how information technology (IT) will helpful for development of rural sector.

We can categorized it into 3 parts

1. Healthcare

We can see now a days IT sector is playing vital role in healthcare. Like there are lots of electronic instruments are invented which can easily checkup health. So it should be used in rural areas so that people can get aware of their health issues. Using internet the remote area people can able to contact with doctors to get relief from their health issues.
