467 Panchayats Still Without Computers, 111 Offline
The New Indian Express Madurai
|August 17, 2025
Amid tall claims of digital development, the Gujarat rural reality tells a starkly different story.
Fresh Union government data reveals that 467 gram panchayats in the state still lack a single computer. Adding to the irony, 111 panchayat offices don't even have broadband access. These glaring gaps raise questions on the state's much-touted "Digital India" push.
The digital divide in India's grassroots democracy came under sharp focus in the Lok Sabha when Samajwadi Party MP Devesh Shakya questioned the government on the lack of basic facilities like computers and internet in Gram Panchayats across states.
