Mukul-da and Dilip-da,
Just found that only 007% of all Assam school have electric connection. For Tamil Nadu it is 67% , Delhi has 95% , Rajasthan 24% and all India a mere 30%.

So how plan to have internet as silver bullet to tackle the devil of illiteracy

My Indian experience is that until someone forces you to focus on educational aspects of internet -- people will use it more for entertainment - adult or otherwise. Social networking sites ofcourse are a recent phenomena -after I left Indian in 2004 - so I guess people spend a lot of time on those as well - in India now.
So regular education is crucial and internet seems supplementary.

You are absolutely right on this one. To spread modern day education to the remote schools, computer with free broadband connection is the easiest way.

You got me right!
Broadband Internet should be treated as public roads-free for all.
You can have Toll Expressways for profit--but give the masses the Basic version --FREE.
Why else Education Cess-Higher Education Cess- Taxes?
Why so-called Sarva-Siksha -Mission?
Why UGC?
Why Free Computers to Matric 1st. Division wallahs?
To cover it up from dust-or play games with?

Mukul-da,
I am getting your logic perhaps. I have demand 100 perhaps then I would get 10 -- is that the approach in demanding free broadband internet in Assam -- which is not available anywhere else (atleast not in US)

Would Rights groups demand of Assam Govt. to extend broadband though Cable/Aseb Lines to all villages .NOW - as Dilip said -BeFORE elections. And would Brindabon please help by making an Early-Bird announcement to that effect--And would SAMUJJWAL speak up"my next agenda will be to get BB to all corners of Assam -Free. They should-if the Govt. has to justify its existence--by providing Internet to all the computers donated to 1st Div. Matric . And to extend EDUCATION(State Subject Sarva Siksha Abhijan) to all.
