Goal
The goal of the project is to strengthen the poor information ecosystem in rural communities in India, especially in backward districts, which has alienated a majority of India’s population from social and economic entitlement gains.
Objectives
- To promote new-age social entrepreneurship, including scope, possibilities and exploration in rural information services among unemployed youth in India, as a social venture using digital tools and applications.
- To bridge the real and serious gaps in access to and delivery of public schemes’ information and services, and the eventual realisation of citizen entitlements in backward districts in India.
- To address the need for decentralisation and democratisation of information in India, where critical information resources remain centralised, controlled and insufficiently democratised.
