Digital Divide threatens Nepal’s vision for a tech-driven future

An enactment of yelling from the highlands to deliver public notice for the villagers is still prevailing in some remote parts of the country. Such a practice prevails especially in those places where TV, radio or telecom networks do not work or people are unable to use such networks due to low-income levels or other various reasons.

On the other hand, people residing in urban areas are being updated with every second news of the world with immediate access to the internet. They are making instant comments and putting their opinions on current affairs through social media. Government and political leaders’ activities are being monitored by the public anytime from anywhere.
