‘Just 18% of rural, 49% of city youths can use computers’ -Mahendra K Singh |
-The Times of India
NEW DELHI: The government aims to transform India into a digitally empowered society through its Digital India programme but it may have a task at hand with a recent survey showing that only 18 per cent of those in the age group of 14-29 years in villages and 49 per cent in cities were able to operate a computer in 2014. Indicating the Herculean task awaiting the government, the NSSO survey found that among households with at least one member aged 14 and above, only 27 per cent had internet access. The figure was 16% among rural households and 49 per cent among urban households. The survey also revealed that only 6 per cent of households in villages and 29 per cent of households in cities owned computers, highlighting the stark rural-urban digital divide. What could be more worrying for administrators is that even those who were able to operate a computers lacked proficiency as the survey found that only 14.2 per cent of those aged 14 years and above who could operate a computer were able to type and use word processing. The data also reflected the rural-urban digital divide as three times more urban males (aged 14 years and above) were able to use computer for various purposes compared to their rural counterparts. Women were found to be lacking in comparison to their male counterparts as far as ability to use computers was concerned in both cities and villages. Among states, only 3.9 per cent of households in Chhattisgarh and 4.2 per cent in Bihar possessed computers compared to 31.3 per cent of households in Kerala. Chhattisgarh also had the lowest percentage (2.5 per cent) of households having access to internet facility in rural areas whereas in Kerala, more than half the rural households had internet access. In urban areas too, Chhattisgarh had the least access to internet (24.9 per cent) whereas states like Kerala (62.1 per cent) and Maharashtra (64.6 per cent) had prominently higher share of households having internet access. |
