Internet
Internet facility was provided for emails,
job search and examination results for
rural youth and farmers as well. Train
and bus ticket reservations can also be
done which can be printed out without
wasting time and money
Internet is one of the most important
components in Information and
Communication Technology that forms
the major part of the NAIP. At the same Net Setters for Internet facility
time it is also a challenging task to penetrate
such technology where there are no fixed phone lines as the places are very
remote. As a prerequisite to tackle this issue a detailed survey of Internet
facilities of these areas based on the availability of mobile signal in each
cluster village was done. Based on the observations it was decided to go for
Idea USB Internet connection in 5 places, Airtel USB Internet connection in 2
places and BSNL will-net in one place.

eFarmer mandi
To improve the bargaining power of marginal, small, and medium farmers
who are empowered with information on market prices from various
markets the innovative business platform development is being planned
commercially successful which paves an easy way to get connected to
dealers/ middlemen/ business sources. The strategy reduces the gap
between different stakeholders involved in agribusiness realizing the better
price to producer and genuine price to consumer. This initiative would start a
strong service web enabled platform connecting various players in rural
economy sector .
