A novel initiative providing free Wi-Fi sees the continuation of the long process of bringing rural Karnataka online.
The inaugural session of the Bengaluru Technology Summit saw the launch of the government initiative to provide 2,560 gram panchayats with free Wi-Fi. On Thursday, 500 gram panchayats across the State began using Wi-Fi services, from the comfort of their homes.
A pilot project was launched last year in November 2016, in 11 villages in the districts of Mysuru, Tumkuru, Gadag, Ballari, Kalaburgi and Bagalkot. Scaling up rapidly, the project shall now include all 2,560 gram panchayats, by the end of the financial year.
