IT Kiosks
The concept of IT kiosks in rural areas is introduced to disseminate information and bridge the digital divide. All that's needed is one or two sets of computers with Internet connectivity, with a human operator, who acts as an interface between the villagers and the digital world. It is used for multiple activities such as accessing relevant market information for trade, communicating via the net to official and personal contacts, accessing and printing of various application forms, imparting computer training to village youth, publishing work and many more. UNDP support such initiatives by giving all kinds of assistance such as providing hardware, software and human resource.
