3. Concrete Situation and Interventions

India is well known as one of the major IT exporters in the world. Within the sourcing industry, for instance, the country has 58% of the global market share (Nasscom, 2012). In addition, it is estimated that the industry’s GDP proportion has grown from 1.2% in 1998 to 7.5% in 2012 (Nasscom, 2012). However, this impressive growth and fast growing IT industry in the global market is not followed by a well-developed IT in India’s rural areas. According to IAMAI’s research, the penetration of IT in rural areas only reaches about 3%, whilst the percentage in urban areas is as high as 20% (Canton, 2012). This raises some questions as to how can this inequality happen in India? and how NGO helps to close the digital inclusion gap between urban and rural areas and encourage IT development in the latter through co-creation?

A possible reason of the aforementioned paradox is that the government favours more on economics growth than IT development, or in a more general term, education i.e. India has one of the lowest public expenditures in this secto...

    For example, Catalonia is thriving in arts and crafts. “From pottery and ceramics, to leather, a rich mix of art and artisanship offer an opportunity to appreciate some of the traditional customs blended with a young, artistic twist”. (Art and Craft) Catalonia is benefiting not just economically by trading these arts and crafts, but also teaching the young about traditions. As compared to the United States where those values are lost and people are replaced by machines because people prefer to be ignorant. In addition, India is thriving in the publishing industry. “We are a different phenomenon, we have so many thousands of publications in print, while publication is a dying industry across the world”. (Publishing Industries) Meaning that India is benefiting like Catalonia from the traditional ways. In addition, India doesn’t have the resources that the United States has which is technology, but that doesn’t stop them from thriving because Americans don’t get the best out of their resources like India does. In India the few who own an IPod use it to read eBooks and get more knowledgeable and in the United States gadgets are used for social networking and media which in the end doesn’t benefit them in acquiring any knowledge.

In addition to increasing growth, greater gender equality in education stimulates other important development goals such as lower fertility and lower child mortality.

The law became popular after previous work from key economists like Adam Smith, stating that over time as the economy develops, public expenditure should increase.

Using different classifications of variables, he found that economic variable (GDP per capita) was positively associated with public education spending. However, during this time there were only 30 OECD members, excluding Israel. Yet, similar results are portrayed to (Strawczynski & Zeira, 2003).

    Education plays an important role in a country’s development. Some believe that an increase in education leads to an increase in a country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita. The higher level of education an individual has the more likely they will work in the labor force. Having a better education helps an individual become mobilized in the job world. However, according to the growth theory, the issue with more education spending is the inequality of how the money is being spent. For example, if a country spends more money paying faculty than spending money on the equipment needed for the students to be taught correctly, then the quality of education decreases, regardless of the amount spent. South Africa and Zimbabwe are different when it comes to terms of education.
