Purpose

The concept behind the e-Village project was to bring about a positive change in the community of Mahavilachchiya, by introducing people to the advantages of ICT usage in seeking developmental solutions. By giving the community access to information like weather forecasts and national news, the villagers can use this to make decisions on harvesting and selling their produce and on job opportunities for example. The access to information from all over the world can be used as an inspiration to the children and youth of the village to help broaden their horizons. We mustn’t forget that ICT will also bring better communication links between the people in the village and those across the country, whether they be friends, relatives or business links. Ultimately, access to the internet, an understanding of ICT and training in these areas will improve the quality of life of the community. The project will focus on enhancing the community by ICT education, providing them an access point to Internet from their homes and ICT centre and other related services.
