We have been continuously promoting Digital India. But internet connectivity was proving to be a major obstacle in the way of Digital India. Providing high speed internet connectivity facility especially in villages was a big challenge. At the same time, rural India was lagging behind in the path of digital connectivity due to expensive internet recharge plans. In such a situation, PM Modi government is going to provide free online connectivity facility in villages where internet connectivity is not present at present. In such a situation, thousands of HD movies, TV shows and OTT apps can be enjoyed in the village without spending a single penny. Also, you will be able to use gaming, shopping and social media online for free without internet.

6 lakh villages will get free access to digital service
SugarBox is providing hyperlocal edge cloud technology solution applications in association with the Common Service Center (CSC) program of the Government of India. It has been started from Haridwar.

According to Dr. Dinesh Tyagi, Managing Director, CSC e-Governance Services India Limited, the Government of India, in association with Sugar Box, will provide online service without internet to 6 lakh villages in the country. This will help in reaching the central and state government schemes to the villages. Also the digital divide can be eliminated.
