Rural Tele-health Project


The organization believes in the role of Information Communications Technologies (ICTs) as an effective tool to empower rural communities and also to improve service delivery.

The approach adopted is to integrate ICTs with the ongoing comprehensive developmental programmes to add value, and to help communities to articulate their needs, harness socio-economic, health opportunities, influence public policy so that it is more in consonance with the local realities.
