Mukul-da and Dilip-da,
Just found that only 007% of all Assam school have electric connection. For
Tamil Nadu it is 67% , Delhi has 95% , Rajasthan 24% and all India a mere 30%.

So how plan to have internet as silver bullet to tackle the devil of illiteracy

interesting and can be a good educational tool -when used alongwith
traditional education - teacher student model. But books by themsleves or
internet by itself will not make everyone modern.
My Indian experience is that until someone forces you to focus on educational
aspects of internet -- people will use it more for entertainment - adult or
otherwise. Social networking sites ofcourse are a recent phenomena -after I
left Indian in 2004 - so I guess people spend a lot of time on those as well -
in India now.
So regular education is crucial and internet seems supplementary.

You are absolutely right on this one. To spread modern day education to the
remote schools, computer with free broadband connection is the easiest way.

You got me right!
Broadband Internet should be treated as public roads-free for all.
You can have Toll Expressways for profit--but give the masses the Basic version
--FREE.
Why else Education Cess-Higher Education Cess- Taxes?
Why so-called Sarva-Siksha -Mission?
Why UGC?
Why Free Computers to Matric 1st. Division wallahs?
To cover it up from dust-or play games with?

Mukul-da,
I am getting your logic perhaps. I have demand 100 perhaps then I would get 10
-- is that the approach in demanding free broadband internet in Assam -- which
is not available anywhere else (atleast not in US)
