ICT brings about openness, accessibility, connectivity, democratization and decentralization that results ultimately in social transformation. To really capitalize on all the work we have done in the past what it means to me is to really bring broadband as major infrastructure to connect all our municipalities, connect all our panchayats, schools , colleges, R&D labs, governments so on and so forth. We have a program on National Knowledge Network to connect 1,500 nodes with 10-40 gigabit using fibre to interlink all our universities R&D labs, libraries to improve collaboration and share more information. Similarly, we plan to have a program to connect 250,000 panchayats to fibre. We already have 2,500 municipalities connected to broadband.
