The ascendency of India as an economic world power

India may be the number one country in outsourcing but most people in India do not have any access to ICT facilities. In fact, many people in rural areas have even not seen a computer or never used Internet. For them, computer is for city people. Well, one man is trying to change this concept and he is Sriram Raghavan. He is Co-founder of Comat. About the company, I found in its website:

Comat is a Social Enterprise and a leading provider of e-Governance solutions that enables sustainable socio-economic growth for the rural communities in India. Comat has an enviable track record of deploying Information and Communication Technology (ICT) based G2C (Government to Citizen) and B2C (Business to Consumer) services delivery in rural and semi-urban areas for the last decade.

Sriram Raghavan and his organization are trying their best to provide opportunities for rural people. To know more, I encourage you to read this report of Rediff: An amazing story of empowering rural India
