Information & Business Systems
ICT can become a revolutionary vehicle in developing countries, provided technological innovations emerge on the following lines.
Local content in local languages sums up the need of the hour - to enable the development of information sources that are exclusively for fulfilling the needs of local communities.
The content on the Internet that can fulfil these conditions is minuscule at present. Conditions have to emerge in which people are enthused to contribute towards the development of information databases that is exclusively disseminated through local networks, in languages/dialects that are popular in the region.
The various modes of ICT may need to be integrated with one another, so that a meaningful volume of information can be generated in the minimum possible time.
