Title of the Talk: Enabling Rural India through innovations in ICT

Abstract: Over the last fifteen years, India's economic growth has accelerated significantly, changing India in many ways. ICT has played a significant role in this change. Rural India, on the other hand, where 700 million Indians live, is still struggling. It is possible for ICT to be used to make significant change in Rural India. Exploiting this potential is not just important for India, but for the future of the world.
