In his address at #elets #eIndia2014 summit, M Sivasankar, emphasised over connectivity and the importance of bandwidth and voice connectivity to every citizen to bridge the communication gap. In the case of electricity or power, the gap has been narrowed down substantially from a national perspective. In Kerala, we have been able to give 24/7 power to every consumer. Ten years back, we were concerned with access to computers ad computing devices, and that is when we started the Akshaya Kendra project where we provided computer access to every citizen at the grass-root level. At present, this issue has been addressed through personal computing devices like smartphones and tablets.
