Rural population being the majority of Indian population has the potential of making India an economic superpower and a developed country but in the present scenario this majority is completely oblivious to the power and capability of Information technology in improvement of business opportunities and employment because of the huge costs incurred on infrastructure, software etc. This paper discusses how the 'cloud computing' paradigm can help the rural population in overcoming these hurdles and which will ultimately lead to rural area development and an overall economic progress of the nation.
