Broadband has the potential to transform social, economic and business growth. It has become as much a necessity as food, water, and shelter. Broadband has and will continue to become an increasing part of citizens’ day to day life, enabling commerce, education, health care, governance, and other social goods.
Knowledge-driven economy
Broadband acts as the backbone of India’s knowledge based economy by facilitating human capital development, digital literacy, and efficient resource utilisation.
Urban-rural divide
Broadband can be an important lever for rural India’s access to education, health care, and governance and its entry into India’s digital economy.
Importance for businesses
Broadband access is the prerequisite for India to usher into Industry 4.0. MSMEs need reliable internet to participate in the digital economy. Broadband can enable cost structure transformation in the services industry by enabling remote working.
