The inventive march of human efforts in Information & Communication Technology (ICT) in the “modern” and “post – colonial” era have shown new dimensions to the development work, knowledge and information exchange and many other networking facilities. Today, ICTs are no longer considered as merely a “technical appendix” for internal computational needs. Being intrinsically divorced from the geographical constraints, today, the power of Internet is being used from electronic commerce (e-Commerce) and assistance to small and medium sized entrepreneurs to the empowerment of communities, women and youth; from the promotion of good governance and decentralization to the awareness campaigns for human rights and democracy; from long distance education to telemedicine to environment management, to foster and facilitate sustainable human development;to assist in the fight against poverty and strengthen informed and participatory decision-making at the policy & planning levels; to give voice to the people marginalized in the process of development.
