In Arunachal Pradesh, digital connectivity is revolutionizing life in remote villages, once isolated by challenging terrain and an absence of internet access. Thanks to government projects like BharatNet Phase-II, even remote villages such as Kibithoo now enjoy internet connectivity.
Locals like Kunsang Chodon Meyor and Samir Kri express how online education, commerce, and governance have improved their daily lives, describing the newfound connectivity as a 'lifeline.'
Despite significant progress, challenges persist, including frequent power outages and digital literacy gaps, emphasizing the need for continued investment and training.
