Abstract

India is a nation of villages. Rural India constitutes 68.8 percent population and provides employment to more than 70 percent workforce of the country. Agricultural and allied activities are still a major head of vocation. Mahatma Gandhi also highlighted the relevance of rural transformation for the development of the nation in real sense. India cannot emerge as a developed economy without its rural upliftment. Electronic Revolution (or it should be termed as Digital Kranti / e-Kranti) with the intensive usage of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has become a key factor for rural transformation in modern times. There has been a considerable increase in the percentage of individuals using Internet in India. The Internet usage has grown from 0.53 percent in 2000 to 15.10 percent in 2013. Just one click can provide vast information, access to government services, enormous horizons of knowledge and connectivity with the global community.
