Mickey Sahu, Ashish Shrivastava

Abstract :

Computers have become an integral part of our lives. The world is undergoing numerous transformations due to rapid development and diffusion of information and communication technologies in all walks of life. Students heavily depend upon the computer to get tutorials, teachers sitting in front of the computer in their home or Call Centers and teaching multiple students at different locations and students receive constant feedback, news papers come with advertisement on online learning. The probable mutual assistance of this research could be the ease of use of students of rural and remote areas at large to the institute. The purpose of this paper is to empirically make clear the relationship between rural and remote area activities and telecommunications, making use of detailed telecommunications infrastructure and usage data. The results show that telecommunications and effort are, in most cases, complementary inputs in each sectoral production function, that rural activities use telecommunications less in the absence of advanced technology, but that the latter tend to significantly increase telecommunications usage.
