Why Rural India Needs A National Plan For Cloud Computing?


Cloud is a disruptive technology, and many people will benefit from applications faster, cheaper, better and more reliable in the cloud. Exploited in the right way, a cloud can help the government to provide new service models which in turn stimulate growth and reduce costs.

Some highlights of the report IMRB / I-Cube (from March 2008), the rural population of India: 568 m; rural literacy: 368m, rural English population: 63 million, in rural computing: 15,100,000 ; rural Internet users said: 5.5 m; active Internet users: 3.3 m The opportunity is that there are more mobile phones in rural India Radio (100 million subscribers).

The rural India has been ignored for over 60 years and the cloud will bring the change needed to close the gap between rural and urban India in India and improve the economy of India in rural areas.

Government of India through BSNL (Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd) provides a bandwidth up to Taluka level, which makes data connections from the reality of rural India. This rural India to sign the cloud.
