Beyond Independence; This Is Where India Stands In Technology


Computers and IT

The world recognizes India as an IT giant today. Many companies such as Infosys, TCS and Wipro had made India an inseparable part of this ecosystem. The country is also a hot hub of outsourcing with its talents on demand from worldwide.

Almost every urban home in India has a computer now.  From dial-ups, we have now got broadband virtually everywhere. Also the availability of 3G and even 4G USB modems requiring no wired network infrastructure has made the access easier. Penetration of internet connectivity in rural areas has directly and indirectly affected the lives of people in the villages. Many of the Indian government organizations have proper websites and even mobile apps like the one released by IRCTC. Some initiatives are allowing big business companies to link directly with rural farmers via internet, thus bridging the gap and eliminating middlemen.

Above all these, India is growing as an education superpower. Thousands of talents are graduating from the country’s prestigious institutions including the IITs. So let’s hope the country is yet to see a its supreme progress in the coming years.
