CAPART, an autonomous body under the aegis of Ministry of Rural Development is initiating a pilot project in Bihar to promote Information Communication Technology (ICT) to rural masses. A central studio has been set up at Consultancy-Cum-Guidance Centre at Bania in Muzaffarpur district and is being connected to one remote site at Serukahin Panchayat in Kanti block of district Muzaffarpur. CAPART has recently introduced a Village Knowledge Centre (VKC) Scheme to render distant services from a single window point to rural masses especially in remote areas of the country through modern ICT. The knowledge centre will be connected to a central studio using technologies viz WiMax/VSAT/leased line. There will be live interactive sessions in real time by the central speaker with audience at remote villages to disseminate information on any subject of interest to the rural communities. The purpose of setting up of a VKC is to bring access to a range of services, content and information to people living in remote villages or areas. The Hon’ble Minister of Rural Development, Dr. Raghuvansh Prasad Singh, is inaugurating the centre on 22nd April.
