Bridging the Digital Divide: Ensuring Equitable Access in India's Digital Transformation

In recent years, India has witnessed a remarkable digital revolution, with initiatives like Digital India propelling the nation towards a more connected future. From e-governance to digital payments, the integration of technology into daily life has been profound. However, beneath this progress lies a pressing concern: the digital divide that threatens to marginalize significant sections of the population. Addressing this divide is imperative to ensure that the benefits of digitalization are inclusive and equitable.

The Extent of the Divide

Despite the proliferation of smartphones and internet services, a substantial portion of India's population remains disconnected. Rural areas, in particular, grapple with inadequate infrastructure, leading to inconsistent or nonexistent internet access. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) reports that while urban internet penetration stands at over 65%, rural penetration lags at approximately 30%. This disparity is not merely a statistic; it translates to missed opportunities in education, healthcare, and economic advancement for millions.

Educational Implications

The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the critical role of digital access in education. As schools transitioned to online platforms, students without reliable internet connections or devices found themselves at a significant disadvantage. A study by the Azim Premji Foundation revealed that nearly 60% of children in rural areas could not access online education during the pandemic. This educational disruption threatens to widen existing socio-economic disparities, as education remains a pivotal pathway to upward mobility.

Economic and Social Ramifications

Beyond education, the digital divide hampers economic growth and social inclusion. Small businesses in underserved regions struggle to tap into digital markets, limiting their growth potential. Farmers without access to digital tools miss out on vital information regarding weather forecasts, crop prices, and modern agricultural practices. Moreover, essential services like telemedicine, which gained prominence during the pandemic, remain inaccessible to those without digital connectivity, exacerbating health inequities.

Bridging the Gap: Policy Interventions

To mitigate the digital divide, a multifaceted approach is essential:

Infrastructure Development: Investing in robust digital infrastructure, especially in rural and remote areas, is paramount. Public-private partnerships can expedite the rollout of high-speed internet services, ensuring last-mile connectivity.

Affordable Access: Subsidizing internet services and devices for low-income households can make digital tools more accessible. Initiatives like free public Wi-Fi hotspots in community centers and schools can serve as immediate solutions.

Digital Literacy: Equipping individuals with the skills to navigate the digital landscape is crucial. Community-based training programs can empower citizens, enabling them to leverage digital platforms effectively.

Localized Content: Developing digital content in regional languages ensures that non-English speakers are not left behind. This inclusivity fosters a more comprehensive digital engagement across diverse linguistic groups.

The Role of Technology Companies

Technology firms have a pivotal role in bridging the digital divide. Collaborating with governments, these companies can tailor solutions that address specific regional challenges. For instance, developing low-cost devices or optimizing applications for low-bandwidth environments can make digital platforms more accessible. Corporate social responsibility initiatives can also focus on digital inclusion, funding programs that promote connectivity and literacy.

A Collective Responsibility

Bridging India's digital divide is not the sole responsibility of the government or technology companies; it requires collective action. Civil society organizations, educational institutions, and community leaders must collaborate to create an ecosystem that fosters digital inclusion. By addressing infrastructural deficits, promoting affordability, enhancing digital literacy, and ensuring relevant content, India can pave the way for a more inclusive digital future.

In conclusion, as India strides forward in its digital journey, it must ensure that no citizen is left behind. Bridging the digital divide is not just a technological imperative but a socio-economic necessity. An inclusive digital landscape promises not only equitable growth but also the realization of the true potential of India's diverse populace.

On February 4th, 2018, Premchai Karnasuta, the CEO of the Ital-Thai construction firm, was found in the Thungyai Naresuan Wildlife Sanctuary surrounded by firearms and the carcasses of deer, game birds, and one, rare, Indochinese black leopard. The cat was perhaps one of the last of its kind.

The public swiftly condemned the poaching. Students at Chulalongkorn University gathered, clad in panther masks, to demand justice for the animal. Images of panthers appeared across social media: panthers on walls, on street signs, and even on the construction barricades blocking off Ital-Thai’s ubiquitous project sites. The images mobilized outrage against both the wanton cruelty of the poaching and the abusive privilege that gave rise to it.

As others have noted, the incident brought with it the echoes of 1973 when a helicopter crash revealed that military officers had been hunting illegally in the same sanctuary. Six months after that incident, the military government was ousted from power on the back of the student movements that ushered in that critical moment of democratic governance. Along the winding and often cyclical pathways of Thai history, this recent incident brings with it renewed hopes that environmental politics might be yet again be an early harbinger of larger forms of political change still to come.

These hopes were intensified when a second environmental controversy erupted on the edges of Doi Suthep National Park in Chiang Mai where a luxury housing development for judiciary officials had been carved into the mountain’s forested slopes. Aerial images of the project spread across social media highlighting the project’s proximity to the park’s boundaries. Activists and citizens debated the effects of the project on the mountain and the structures of inequality that gave rise to its construction. In late April, protestors in Chiang Mai staged some of the largest public demonstrations since the military coup in 2014.

What role, if any, might these environmental movements play in the re-making and sustaining of Thai democracy? Or, more simply put, do environmental politics still matter in militarized Thailand? If so, how?

The answers to these questions are complex. On the one hand, the current struggles are evidence of both ongoing dissatisfaction with the military government and the ways in which environmental claims have enabled citizens to express their voices in a moment in which political action is deeply impinged. Yet, both of the current environmental controversies became the stuff of widespread political speculation because they were embraced by the urban middle classes who waged their struggles on behalf of the destruction of charismatic, vulnerable natures. These same political protagonists have been slower to express the same support to other ongoing environmental movements organized by lower-class activists around the negative environmental and health effects of extractive mining, the expansion of coal power, or the lingering effects of existing dams. Those issues also vividly demonstrate the interrelationship between political inequality, socio-economic exclusion, environmental degradation, and the capriciousness of power.  Why do these sorts of issues fail to evoke the sympathies of the middle classes or to spark broader imagining of political transformation? Why do they seem unable to connect with one another? And why are they so tentatively linked to broader political movements?

Environmental politics formed a critical part of the broader story of democratic expansion in Thailand during the 1980s and 1990s (e.g. Hirsch 1993; Forsyth 2004).  Yet, as Forsyth (2004; see also 2007) has described, those environmental movements were riven by schisms between the middle-classes focused on conservation and the lower classes, whose environmental politics often highlighted people’s embeddedness within environmental worlds that were both natural and man-made, pristine and disrupted. Pinkaew Luangaramsri (2016) emphasizes that the divisions within environmental movements are not simply class-based, but also reflective of a masculine framing of environmental politics that focus on the heroism of typically male-led struggles to save vulnerable nature at the expense of these other, more complex, entangled environmental struggles. Still others have shown distinctions of race and ethnicity have also been important to shaping the inequalities of conservation policy and broader forms of environmental knowledge (Anan 1998; Vandergeest 2003; Forsyth and Walker 2007). It is worth remembering here that conservation discourses have often facilitated the expansion of state power, land dispossession, and, in a sad irony, further resource extraction (Vandergeest and Peluso 1995; 2011).

These distinctions haven’t prevented environmental movements from contributing to the advance of democracy in Thailand, but they have produced different answers to the question of what gets conserved, who gets sacrificed, and whose struggles count as “proper” environmental politics in the first place. Even as environmental activism expanded alongside democracy, environmental movements have not always been politically progressive or even necessarily been pro-democracy. Rather, environmental politics reflect many of the same socio-economic inequalities and political exclusions fundamental to the broader Thai polity. Nevertheless, the return to environmental struggles now highlights both potential points of articulation between environmental and pro-democracy movements while also suggesting the limits of these alliances as they might mobilize for broader political changes.

One of the most critical potential intersections between pro-democracy and environmental movements relates to the ways in which cases like the poaching in Thungyai Narasuan or the illegal construction at Doi Suthep rest on pernicious forms of “everyday impunity” (Cheeseman, D’Costa, and Haberkorn 2015). While these forms of impunity are widely acknowledged to exist they inevitably remain partially or wholly occluded from view. Impunity, as Tyrell Haberkorn’s (2018) recent book reminds us, is not foreign to Thailand, but a kind of endemic form of state formation that is quite literally built into the nation’s socio-legal structure. The talk of “double standards” and “awakenings” in the wake of the Red Shirt protests highlighted this point as well. When environmental controversies like these arise, they seem primed to be mobilized to demonstrate the ways that powerful actors in Thailand can get away with murder. The images of the flayed black panther were potent because they offered a vivid piece of evidence of ways the layered inequities endemic to Thailand’s socio-political landscape were causing irrevocable harm to some of the country’s most vulnerable species. Similarly, the development at Doi Suthep was nothing new politically, but instead was another graphic piece of proof that the persistence of everyday impunity can move mountains, or at least eat them away, one quasi-illegal development at a time.

To the degree that the current regime’s legitimacy rests on its moral uprightness then these environmental controversies suggest significant cracks in its claims. Yet, these struggles do not necessarily indicate a wider opening up to more robust forms of democracy. Arguments about corruption and reform were also essential to the moral politics motivating each of the last two coups. Indeed, the controversy over the Mae Wong dam in 2013 mobilized the specter of the extinction of some of Thailand’s last wild tiger populations to resist both a project that movement’s participants disliked and a government they distrusted. As Philip Hirsh pointed out at the time, there were important similarities between the middle-class conservationists’ concerns about the dam’s effects on vulnerable Tiger habitats at the expense of poor and working class urban and rural people, and the kinds of anti-democratic attitudes that have been behind the coups and political disruptions that preceded that movement. In this sense, the dispute over the Mae Wong dam presaged the fall of the Yingluck government the following year. That the protestors at Doi Suthep insist that they are not a political movement but a movement working in the higher name of nature itself, seems, on the one hand, an effective piece of rhetoric, but on the other, a missed opportunity that reflects broader, persistent structural features of middle class environmentalism. It is these structural limits of middle class environmental politics may be precisely what prevents them from coalescing into a larger political movement.

Considering the ways Thailand’s structures of impunity not only shape the practice of government, but also etch themselves into the landscape at the expense of human and non-human natures is important. However, a more robust environmental politics would link the abuse of nature and the abuse of power more generally to broader and deeper expansion of both democratic forms of governance and the rule of law. By tying together exclusions and extinctions, dispossessions and degradation, coups and conservation, these political encounters might open a broader discussion about the ways that impunity is not only fundamental to the destruction of vulnerable natures, but also to other slower, grinding forms of environmental degradation that target the poor, deepen inequality, and poison democracy. Practices of environmental degradation shape and are shaped by the nation’s political and legal structures. For environmental politics to deepen democracy, environmentalists need to understand how claims to environmental justice and environmental well-being in poor communities are simultaneously claims to political voice, legal reform, and social equality.

In this way, one can’t help but wonder whether the recent attention called to the poaching of big cats highlights the wanton cruelty of the poachers or to the deeply embedded mechanisms behind poaching. If current middle-class-led environmental struggles are to work towards protecting nature and advancing democracy, they would be wise to link their claims to other less-magnetic struggles, both environmental and otherwise, including efforts to reform the legal system, to seek redress against corporate abuse, and to enhance the political voices of poor actors. This sort of environmentalism would broaden democracy by undermining the military’s claims to moral legitimacy and overtly linking the country’s physical, legal, and political landscapes. If these protestors fail to make these connections, it is likely their movements won’t produce larger political change. Instead, they will have lost sight of both the trees and the forest by focusing on the cats and not their hunters.

Inevitably, some food waste is inescapable this is the food that can't usually be sold or consumed, such as bones, vegetable peelings, egg shells, tea bags, and coffee premises. Avoidable food waste is the edible food that winds up in the compost or in the bin. Regrettably, we often waste excellent food since we purchase too much, cook too much, or do not save it properly.

The Global Demand For Gold Is Destroying The Amazon Rainforest

An aerial view over a chemically deforested area of the Amazon jungle caused by illegal mining activities in the river basin of the Madre de Dios region in southeast Peru, on May 17, 2019, during the ‘Mercury’ joint operation by Peruvian military and police ongoing since February 2019.

The wildfires ripping through the Amazon have drawn the world’s attention to the destruction of the “lungs of the planet.” Many scientists believe cattle ranchers clearing land caused the flames, spurring groups around the world — including the government of Finland — to call for a boycott of Brazilian beef. But to boycott all of the products damaging the Amazon, you’d have to do much more than give up steak. You’d have to toss out your phone, laptop, wedding band, and anything else with gold in it.

“There’s no way to get the gold out without destroying the forest. The more acres you cut down, the more gold you get. It’s directly proportional,” Miles Silman, the cofounder of Wake Forest University’s Center for Amazonian Scientific Innovation (CINCIA), told BuzzFeed News.

“There’s no way to get the gold out without destroying the forest.”

Fueling that demand is not just the world’s appetite for gold bars and jewelry — the largest categories for which gold is used — but also high tech. Tiny electrical currents are constantly running through your iPhone, Alexa speaker, and laptop — and carrying those currents is gold, a fantastic conductor of electricity that’s also resistant to corrosion. While there isn’t much gold inside a single device — an iPhone 6, for example, contains 0.014 grams, or around 50 cents’ worth — in the aggregate, the amount is staggering. According to market researcher Gartner, over 1.5 billion smartphones were sold last year, with 1.3 billion of them being Android devices. It was followed by 215 million iOS devices.

So the tech industry, which consumes nearly 335 tons of gold yearly, will only need more and more of the metal. “There’s a gold rush in the Amazon right now that’s just like the gold rush that happened in California in the 1850s,” said Silman.

According to a 2018 CINCIA study, artisanal mining, or small-scale mining conducted by independent miners, have uprooted nearly 250,000 acres of rainforest in the Madre de Dios region of Peru, where Silman focuses his work. Another study, by researchers at the University of Puerto Rico in 2015, found that approximately 415,000 acres of tropical forest across South America has been lost to gold mining. A map compiled by environmental group Amazon Geo-Referenced Socio-Environmental Information Network shows 2,312 illegal mining sites in 245 areas across six countries, which the group called an “epidemic.”

And just as the California gold rush gave rise to a lawlessness that took generations to tame, the tech industry’s suppliers can’t always meet demand and sometimes turn to the Amazon’s illegal mining economy.

An artisan miner shows a piece of gold after extraction and processing on May 6, 2008 in El Ingenio, Peru, 420 kms south of Lima. Artisan mining accounts for the livelihood of more than 40 thousand Peruvian families, though almost 15% of the nation’s gold production comes from this activity. Since the 1980s many extracting camps have been converted into small mining towns lacking basic services and containing high levels of pollution.

A Miami Herald investigation in 2018 detailed how a handful of traders from Southern Florida–based precious metals company NTR Metals bought $3.6 billion of gold from outlaw mines across South America. NTR Metals has since been shut down and the traders arrested. The company was a subsidiary of Elemetal, a major US gold refinery that supplied Tiffany & Co. and other consumer brands, like Apple, which said it stopped working with the supplier, in a February 2019 corporate disclosure.

Apple is far from the only tech giant that sources gold from the Amazon region. A review of corporate disclosures by BuzzFeed News found that Amazon (the company), Apple, Samsung, Sony, and Google list refiners Asahi and Metalor as suppliers. In turn, these firms, based respectively in Switzerland and Japan, buy some of their gold from South American mines. According to the Herald, those companies buy from brokers, who source their gold from a range of legal and illegal mines in the region.

Companies like Alphabet, the parent company of Google, are aware of the impacts of gold mining in the Amazon, and have taken steps to address it. A Google company spokesperson pointed to its conflict minerals policy, and says it relies on third party audits to ensure that smelters are in compliance. Samsung, Sony, and Amazon did not return a request for comment. Apple told BuzzFeed News all its gold refiners participate in third party audits. “If a refiner is unable or unwilling to meet our standards, they will be removed from our supply chain,” an Apple spokesperson said it a statement. “Since 2015, we’ve stopped working with 60 refiners of gold for this reason.”

Dirty gold doesn’t just end up in electronics. A 2015 report by Ojo Publico reported that companies with ties to the London Bullion Market Association — an organization that determines the international price of gold — acquired precious metal from illegal mining camps in Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil.

An estimated 15% to 20% of gold in jewelry and electronics inadvertently comes from small-scale gold mines, according to Fairtrade Gold, an organization advocating the use of responsibly sourced precious metals.

“A part of the problem with gold is that it all goes into one melting pot. So you can have a bar of gold where some of it comes from responsible sources, some of it comes from illegal sources, but it looks like one bar of gold,” said Sarah duPont, president of the Amazon Aid Foundation.

That illegal and dirty gold extraction takes a toll on the environment and the humans who mine it. Compared to soybean farming or cattle ranching, the mining industry clears fewer acres of forest from the Amazon.

However, according to Silman, the carbon emissions of mining can make the industry’s environmental footprint between three to eight times as big as the surface acres lost to mining might suggest. In addition to uprooting trees and other plants, miners dig two to four meters deep into the ground, where soil is rich in carbon. That soil can be thousands of years old, and gold mining liberates that carbon back into the atmosphere, killing nutrients in the dirt that are vital to plants in the rainforest.

“If you think about an Amazonian forest, there’s nothing you do that’s worse to it than alluvial mining.”

“The growth rates around the mines are so slow because you’ve washed everything that’s good out of the soil,” Silman explained.

Gold mining also transforms the landscape in another way: “1 out of every 5 acres converted by mining can’t be reforested because it’s converted into a body of water. So it ends up looking like Minnesota, with thousands of lakes all across the landscape,” said Silman. “If you think about an Amazonian forest, there’s nothing you do that’s worse to it than alluvial mining. You could drop a nuclear bomb on the forest, and it would be better than mining it.”

On top of the environmental devastation, mercury, used as an amalgam to retrieve gold from the dirt, contaminates the region’s water and food supply. According to the US National Institute of Health, artisanal and small-scale gold mining is the leading source of mercury released into the environment. Researchers have found high levels of mercury, which has serious health effects on the nervous, digestive, and immune systems, in people living along the Brazil–Venezuela border, the Madre de Dios area of Peru, and in Suriname.

Despite the dangers, gold mining in the Amazon region is unlikely to slow down. Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro has loosened the country’s environmental laws and is working to open up more of the Amazon to mining. Bolsonaro fired the head of the country’s agency that tracks deforestation, after a report that some 1,330 square miles of Amazonian forest in Brazil had been lost since the president took office in January — a 39% increase over last year.

What can be done? According to Kevin Telmer, executive director of the Artisanal Gold Council, an organization working to professionalize and train the sector, the environmental problem is linked to that of extreme poverty.

Banning small-scale mining would not be effective, according to Telmer: “People have asked the miners to leave for 40 years and they haven’t. What [bans] do is drive the economy into the black market.”

“What’s needed really is sustainable economic pathways for those individuals who are currently pursuing illegal mining,” said Payal Sampat, the mining program director at Earthworks, a nonprofit that started a campaign called No Dirty Gold in 2008. Sampat added that buying vintage jewelry and holding on to electronics for longer is a good way for consumers to cut down on their gold consumption.

Silman, the CINCIA researcher, agrees. Legally placed mines, he said, are at least confined to a small area, instead of thousands of mines sprawled across a landscape. Taxing mining operations could also help money flow back into job placement and other programs: “There was $3 billion made out of Madre de Dios, and a lot of it flowed through mafias. There’s a little over 100,000 people living in that land, and they would have had $300 million of tax revenue,” he said.

The Artisanal Gold Council, Telmer said, is working to provide training and education to miners, reforest mined areas, as well as introduce processes that are more effective than the use of mercury.

The formalization and professionalization of the sector can help miners be more productive, and be less impactful on the environment, too, Silman said: “Once you do all these things, at least you can get some good from mining, and you still don’t destroy all the opportunities for the future that rely on biodiversity.”

Things You Need To Know About Tarmac Driveways And Why

Roads fulfil a vital function in modern society, providing improved mobility for people, goods and solutions. The have played a crucial part in European progress and continue to drive socio- financial development. Different types of function we will tackle: Pathways, Driveways, Footway Automobile Crossings, Vehicle Parks, Track Reinstatement ,Highways, Farm Roads, Slabbing, Tennis Courts, Kerbing Operate, Drainage, Commercial/ Domestic function read moreÂ…. If one thing is missing please feel free to contact us to uncover out if we can offer the service you need. I kinda like the sound of the grass increasing down the middle of the drive - when I was younger I utilised to usually tell my mother that when I had a property I would adore there to be a long drive up to the house with grass in the middle...only after thinking about that now! PRO PAVING In Maine, we place in tough packed recycled asphalt, not wanting to introduce more processed petroleum into the planet. It is holding up effectively offered the close proximity to granite ledge underneath. It breathes and permits moisture to pass through, and it was significantly significantly less costly than other alternatives. As with all surfacing, it needs some care and tending. Most concrete drives in are appropriate for having a tarmac overlay. There are many elements that require to be taken into account such as the present state of the concrete drive. Existing drives that have cracks or are broken may possibly need to have repairing before tarmac is laid. Get in touch with Central Paving and we'll be satisfied to arrange for 1 of our group to come and carry out an inspection at your Sheffield home. B. If the pavement is dull and rough but nonetheless sound, then it may possibly benefit from a slurry sealcoat such as our Micro Pave 2000. This is a extremely economical remedy to aging asphalt provided that it is generally 1/5 to ¼ the cost of a 1-2 inch asphalt overlay and will last just as extended. The binder course is the 1st of the two bitmac layers employed in a common footpath or residential driveway. The aggregate in this type of bitmac is chunkier than that employed in the surface course, a typical size getting 20mm. The binder course material is delivered to the site in insulated wagons which preserve it hot, and it is then laid as quickly as possible, before it becomes too cool and becomes unworkable. Of course, my husband would inform you that there is no comparison between the strength of asphalt and concrete. Hands down 1 is much more expensive than the other but cement/concrete is preferred particularly for the massive jobs. All the driveways in my neck of the woods are concrete BUT really few do not have cracks. My husband often mentioned that was because the contractors had no actual thought how to put in cement driveways at houses. Our driveway consists of brick pavers rather of concrete, thereby eliminating the cracks so prevalent here in a subtropical climate. This is especially helpful since recyclable asphalt, based on no matter whether it has been milled or torn up with the rip and tear” approach, are normally in chunks from 1½-inches on up. Bigger chunks call for a lot of crushing to pare the material down to the ½-inch size necessary for the asphalt mix, so re-circulation by means of the crusher is typically needed. In those circumstances, the return conveyor not only increases production, but cuts charges, as nicely. The textured stones as rudimentary porcelain tiles, floors with burnt cement finish, that mimic the wood and higher-grip surfaces are other conventional options. We can also emphasize that auto sticking floors, which let the water to reach effortlessly to the water table, are among the modern day trends. For these who prefer the use of stones we can highlight granite, lime stone , marble, and travertine. The essential issue is the finish since it will enhance looks and also the really feel of the entire driveway. Amongst these options, the most popular are granite and travertine, simply because of its beauty and functionality general. Tarmac and asphalt surfaces are very vulnerable to the damaging effects of UV light from the sun. More than time the surface colour of the tarmac will fade and eventually the aggregate will turn into loose after prolonged exposure to UV light. If left to deteriorate additional, the tarmac or asphalt will ultimately start off to crack up in areas and the entire tarmac driveway or vehicle park may have to be replaced. No Tarmac surfaces need to lift or curl, if they have been laid to the right process and thickness. Bonding agents are utilized in between different surfaces to ensure that no lifting happens. Deal with an knowledgeable trustworthy firm and asphalt surfaces are amongst the most trouble and problem free” driveways. Selecting the various types of driveway design sometimes is a challenging process, particularly when we see so a lot of various alternatives offered on the market and usually for a extremely good price. One need to be attentive to the want for non-slip floors and dampers, best for houses with kids and also for houses that have older pets such as dogs. With a Tarmac Combi drive we have to excavate and prepare the base function, there is some mess and disruption at this stage. A base and preparation on a typical Combi drive take ½ days based on if edgings, drainage and borders are necessary. The base coat and overlay will be completed with no additional mess or inconvenience within a day. Of course we leave your internet site in a clean, tidy condition with the removal of all internet site debris.
