Digital Divide
The document discusses the digital divide between developed and developing societies, and the challenges faced by women in accessing technology in remote areas of India. Customs, traditions, lack of education and household responsibilities have kept many women from engaging with growing technologies. To address this, the document recommends making primary education mandatory, introducing women's welfare programs to generate income, and employing women in industries and social work. Examples provided are the Lijjat udyog cooperative and Dwacra Mahila program in Andhra Pradesh that employ needy women. The goal is for all women in villages to have basic knowledge of current issues so they can contribute to India's development and advance their villages into a global era of progress.
