The Role of Digital Literacy in improving educational outcomes in Rural parts of India

Author(s) Ms. HARSHINI KISHORE SINGH

Abstract Education in rural India faces numerous challenges, with government schools often struggling to provide adequate resources and access to modern learning tools. These schools frequently lack access to technology, and even when available, the tech systems are poorly maintained due to a shortage of trained experts capable of managing and utilizing these tools. Additionally, internet connectivity remains a significant barrier, limiting the effectiveness of digital learning. However, recent efforts to introduce digital literacy programs in rural areas have shown promising results. These programs focus on enhancing digital skills, offering training on innovative entrepreneurship subjects, and providing exposure to cutting-edge technologies like Virtual Reality (VR). Moreover, these initiatives emphasize internet safety, ensuring students'

security while engaging online, and providing access to tech books that teach the basics of computing. This paper explores the impact of these initiatives, identifies the critical gaps in rural education, and proposes strategies for scaling digital literacy programs in government schools to bridge these gaps effectively.
