- W1921002131 abstract "The Information Village Research Project (IVRP), implemented by the M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation (MSSRF), is based on the philosophy of Dr. M.S. Swaminathan, founder of MSSRF, to extend the benefits of information technology to the rural poor. Information village shops equipped with computers, telephones, and dial-up connectivity are established in 10 villages of Pondicherry, Southern India. Information is downloaded from the Internet and transformed into locally specific information that directly benefits the villagers. Such information consists of the daily local news, latest prices of agricultural crops and inputs, weather reports, and government programs, to name a few. One of the distinctive features of the project is local content creation by volunteers from various sources. More than 100 databases have been created that provide updated information on issues ranging from crop prices to government programs. Another feature is the focus on increased participation by women. The volunteers who operate the centers are mostly women. On average, women also make up a substantial percentage of the users at each center, ranging from 34 percent to 50 percent. Many centers have become a hub for social gatherings. This case study cites some examples in which discussions raised at these centers have led to the organization of a local voice to speak against unfair practices. The information provided is free of cost. As in other rural information and communications technologies (ICT) projects, infrastructure bottlenecks do exist, but efforts are underway to overcome them. This project won the Stockholm Challenge Award in 2001 in the global village category." @default.
