K. K. Ghanshala, Durgesh Pant . Redefining IT - Initiatives in Difficult Geographies. International Journal of Computer Applications. 63, 3 ( February 2013), 40-48. DOI=10.5120/10450-5152
There have been attempts made by several organizations, nations and states to take leverage of Information Technology's ever expanding application-spectrum. These deliberate attempts are Information Technology Initiatives or IT-initiatives. As a consequence, the world over, there have been efforts to launch IT Initiatives in almost all the areas of human endeavour and sustenance. However, asymmetries with regard to access and equity happen to be extremely crucial in the difficult geographies of the world. Uttarakhand in the north Himalayan region in India (Asia) provides an interesting test bed to study IT-initiatives, awareness and their effectiveness.
