Internet access allows for faster communication and efficient working. It can propel a developing country into becoming a developed one.

With IOT focus  in agriculture, health, transportation, security, automobile, buildings and smart cities and internet forming the very backbone of IOT , there was never such an urgency to scale up the fiber net grid and bring it to the tier 2 cities and beyond. A digitally empowered society will encourage innovation especially in technology, healthcare and education and pave the path to prosperity.

Internet access gives an equal platform to the marginalized. They stand to receive benefits in the form of gainful employment, education and even the often ignored – entertainment. Internet access has joined the holy trifecta of basic needs – food, clothing and shelter has now been declared a basic human right. It is time to now put those words into action and not deny this basic right to the people in the Indian heartland any further. Let’s attempt to overcome this digital divide with high-speed internet connection for everyone.
