Documentation Center

The ‘SANKALP Documentation Center’ will combine advanced ICT with native ingenuity and the strong business acumen inherently present in rural communities to enhance the rural community’s access to information and communications services. This will lead to new livelihoods opportunities and create new jobs for local entrepreneurs.
