What is a Virtual Village

The Sarvodaya Social Empowerment programmes weaves an integrated approach to personal, family, village and regional development that extents far beyond mere economics. It is an infrastructure through, which flows an energy that cannot be described in economic or bureaucratic terms alone. Not government. Nor merely technical assistance, professionalism and the accumulation of business acumen, but all of those qualities permeated by a sense of purpose and meaning that bind people to people.

With the advancement of information technology, the whole world speaks of the global village and global family. Yet, due to lack of awareness among the rural community about Information Technology, its benefits are confined only to the urban areas. Hence, the rural community living in remote villages has been deprived of the opportunity of enjoying the favorable effects of information technology. The virtual village project attempts to link information technology to the community development process, reduce the gap between the rich and the poor in relation to information technology, and provide access to its maximum benefits in the rural community.
