Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is the key enable and a vital component of the new knowledge based economy an information revolution. There is need to ensure that the benefit of the ICT percolate to all the different socio-economic strata and to the grass roost of the rural Bengal. With poor existing infrastructure in the rural areas, delivery of services of essential requirements becomes a difficult task.
Concept of VKC: The village Knowledge Centre is a place to render distant services from a single window point to rural masses especially in remote areas of the state through modern Information and Communication Technology. The purpose of setting up of a VKC is to bring access to a range of services, content and information to people living in remote villages or areas which do not provide such access otherwise.
Objective: The Village Knowledge Centers are expected to be a source of empowerment for villagers, and centres that will open up a new world that will increase the self-esteem of people in villages. The VKC programme is meant for reaching the benefits of the Information Technology directly to the communities at the grass root level for promoting single window delivery of need-based services relating to the life cycle needs of rural population, viz. rain water harvesting, nutritional information including primary processing of fruits and vegetables, rural sanitation, preventive and curative aspects of health and hygiene , skill development and linkage with market requirements and demands, capacity building among village based organizations and people or on any issue that the rural communities would desire. In other words the VKC will be able to
Bridge the gap between the village and the rest of the world
Expose local students to the best educational infrastructure
Motivate farmers and address agricultural issues professionally
Provide medical infrastructure to the village through telemedicine
Create avenues for income generation for women through vocational training
