This is one of the most awaited change that the government is now rolling out. Though late in the race, still better as this would kick off the next level of development and would result in far reaching results. With this change, the reach of Internet would be possible even at the remote villages and towns and will help establish a better Governance Framework.
A few out there might try to relate this to the various Schemes and Yojanas that are run by government and how this change would impact in far reaching results of those schemes? Now these are the things that we need to understand that rolling out IPV6 would help roll out more internet kiosks across the villages and would enable reach of information to the remote areas.
There is also a great deal of benefit that can be derived by automating more Post offices and as I read the term the other day if Postal Department modernizes and applies for Banking license, then well you got a lot of things moving towards betterment of rural areas :). These post offices can also be used as Cyber Cafe’s with minimal charge on surfing to learn and surfing to have information sort of model.
Interestingly, if this change is coupled with few other changes like setting up Cyber Kiosks for Children Education, it would be less costlier to take education to villages. The interactive classes can be setup for educating not just the children, but also the illiterates. The classes would increase participation of children who would though would be fascinated by the advancement of the technology, but would love to attend the school as they would see themselves as part of a bigger class that they would see.
Another scheme that can make more impact would be the Information Sharing with the farmers through the Cyber Kiosks that would help them learn about the weather forecasts, farming techniques, usage of manure, knowing the policies and procedures of lone facilities as well as the Govt supported rates. more advanced information would lead to more advanced farming and better productivity to boost the Agricultural Sector
These are just a few benefits that I see, there can be many more for that matter and for that the strategists in the Government need to run their brains and think out of the box 🙂

"THINK" is the most furthest thing that out government can do. All they can think of is fleecing the country , and filling their coffers.
How far its gonna help the rural public is to be awaited to be seen.
A lot of things gewt started, but end up in different directions, the sole purpose being a kick back of sorts.
Anyway, best of luck to the rural folks. Just hope the scheme dose wt its meant for , and no other side effects/fringe benefits.
