Info centres to bridge digital divide
As part of the first ‘outcome budget’ the government on Thursday
unveiled its plan to establish 60 community information centres in Jammu
& Kashmir by October this year. Internet-enabled, these centres will aim
at bridging the digital divide as part of the national e-governance
plan. Apart from J&K, Lakshwadeep and Andaman & Nicobar will also be
connected through such information centres by January 2006. At least 487
centres have been established in the north so far.
