Village Knowledge Centre - A tool for knowledge transformation

This book presents the research work, which scatters light on the role of village knowledge centres in the rural upliftment by providing the demand driven information, capacity building and linkages using information and communication technology. The inspiration for undertaking this research work is Prof.M.S.Swaminathan, the father of Green Revolution who has contributed to the enhancement of agriculture and rural knowledge through the concept of 'Every village become a Knowledge centre', 'Reaching the unreached' and "Voicing the voiceless". The inference of the research work is that the village knowledge centres played a vital role in bridging the rural urban divide including gender and digital divide.
