It is an ambitious vision: all villages in the country, connected
to the world via technology. Village knowledge centres (VKCs) -- a dream that former
President A P J Abdul Kalam shared with IIT alumni -- are gaining steam. While the
country has 50 VKCs, only one has been functioning in Karnataka. The number is now
all set to jump.
A knowledge
centre -- which provides access to books, internet and training in different streams
to villagers -- has been in place at Ittamadu, a small village 50 km from Bangalore,
for three years. Now, neighbouring villages are demanding VKCs of their own. IIT-Bombay
alumni, along with local gram panchayats, are planning to expand the service to
10 VKCs by March 2009. A concert by alumni from across the country will be held
in Bangalore, on November 8, to raise funds for this.
