  • Internet Kiosks in Rural India

    Hi everyone!

    I'm researching Internet kiosks in rural India and I'm looking to get a perspective on them beyond what I've found in online articles and papers.

    All the articles I've read are so posisitive - talking about how villagers can find crop information online, communicate with government agencies and relatives far away, undergo eye exams online and much more. The articles also mention that the venture is "controversial" and many people think that the money poured into these kiosks would be better spent on basic facilities many villages lack. However I'm yet to find an actual examples of these supposed opponents to Internet kiosks! In contrast everyone I've talked to has been strongly in favour of them.

    Could you let me know what you think of Internet kiosks in rural india? Also if you know of anyone people / groups that are opposed to them, I'd love to know.

    Cheers!
Working...
