- Dear friends,
Please meet our new member Rose Shuman who has already founded
a novel telecentre facility under the title QUESTION BOX.Please visit her website and see how easily the users in Indian villages are enjoying the
innovation.
I have copied below a portion of the article published in the IndianExpress just to inform about her dedication and achievement.
Question Box was recently featured in an in-depth article online at IndianExpress.com.
People in remote areas of Pune can now be updated with the latest happenings, as Question Box comes as the perfect answer to all their questions
They have innumerable queries but few answers to them. However, a humble three-button box is now acting as their exclusive 'information bureau', giving them updates on market prices of fruits and vegetables, telling them about train timings and other day-to-day information. Thanks to this out-of-the-box idea, the residents of Ramdara (Loni) and Chandernagar village are now well equipped with information when it comes to being updated about their surroundings....
"I occasionally go to Loni village to visit my relatives. And I need to know about bus timings from Pune to Solapur. With the Question Box facility coming to the village, it becomes easier for people like me to get instant information," says Swati Mahadev Supekar, a resident of Warki.
Let us all welcome this talented lady for her participation in dynamic telecentre community.Her joining will strengthen our efforts for shaping a better world.
