Push to bridge digital divide - Calcutta Telegraph
The Tamil Nadu government has launched an ambitious project to build a computer-based education network with a knowledge data centre in Anna University as its hub. The Jayalalithaa regime recently gave the go-ahead to set up the data centre, to cost Rs 21.36 crore, which would also double as a technology resource centre for students in the state. The move is part of efforts to bridge the digital divide in a state where the 73.47 per cent literacy rate — according to the 2001 census — is next only to Kerala and Maharashtra. The data centre will be connected to all engineering colleges affiliated to the university in the project’s first phase, according to a recent order of the state information technology department.
