ICTs and Development in India is a unique attempt to study the nature and consequences of the growing presence of Information Technology in development projects in India, focusing particularly on E-governance and Information & Communication Technologies (ICT) development programs initiated by Civil Society Organizations (CSOs). Sreekumar persuasively argues that there is in fact a wide chasm between the expectations and the actual benefits of CSO initiatives in rural India, and that recognising this crucial fact yields important lessons in conceptualizing development and social action in rural areas.

Rural India has become a model laboratory for global experiments in a new era of market-driven development communication. T. T. Sreekumars critical and empirically rich study of Indias emerging rural network society offers a much needed counter-history to the dominant techno-utopian narratives that continue to fuel both policy and scholarly discussions. Paula Chakravartty, Associate Professor, Department of Communication, University of Massachusetts
