Rural employments through ICTs
The twentieth century was the age of industrial revolution, providing millions of jobs for skilled and unskilled workers. The 21st century, however, can be described as an era of information and communication technologies with plenty of potential for generating employment.
As we know that 20th century was the age of industrial revolution. This had given us jobs for skilled and unskilled workers. The industrial pollution was its bi-product.
Where as 21st century is the era of information and communication technologies. The father of ICT in India was former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, who had conceived the idea of 21st century India in 1986. That idea of him is paying
handsome dividends to the country, as we are today regarded as a leading nation IT sector.
Why this project is required?
The main objective of ICT is to give maxim information through common communication. If we leave out the rural and sub- urban population in this movement, then ICT cannot achieve its goal in India.
The youth activeness in national works is declining day by day and making them insensitive to present situation of nation. It is because most of rural and sub-urban youth think themselves as unfit in this sector.
To provide additional sources of statistics/information to national policies planners.
Making our weakness our strength
In today ICT era we have to plan our policies in such a way that our weakness (huge population) becomes our strength.
In this Rural Employment Through Information and Communication Technologies (RETICT) project will try to use numbers to achieve some thing special for all. Maximum numbers is our mantra to success.
What RETICT project will do?
It will generate equal and all important participation of skilled and unskilled workers in ICT revolution to achieve prime goal
of employments for all.
As this project is specially meant for rural and semi-urban areas, where ICT revolution has not expanded its base yet. When the youth will join RETICT, they will have to play very crucial role to build parallel data sources in India. Thus they will rethink their relevance in national policies and planning and start to play role in building the future India.
Mostly government controlled statistics (census, surveys and research) are available only to planners in India. RETICT will provide parallel statistics sources to national planners to verify their data.
In RETICT rural youth will get jobs at village levels, thereby reducing migration to urban areas.
It will do ground work for ICT revolution in rural India by connecting them to internet.
