Inspired by the Centre’s flagship ‘Digital India’ initiative, four IT professionals from Madhya Pradesh have enabled 3 villages in the state’s Rajgarh district to have access to ‘free wi-fi’.
“Taking a cue from Digital India theme, we have turned Bavadikeda Jagir, Shivnathpura and Devria villages into free wi-fi hamlets to provide the fruits of IT revolution to the villagers,” one of the four youths, Shakeel Anjum told PTI over phone on Sunday.
“We have decided to do it on our own to set an example and spent nearly Rs two lakh from our resources to achieve the target,” he claimed.
“Its results are for everyone to see as nearly 100 mobile users are now using wi-fi facility in these villages which is running uninterrupted. We have also installed a 200 Ampere power inverter to ensure round-the-clock facility in the event of a power cut there,” he said.
