2. “Everyone speaks of the need to bridge the digital
divide between rural & urban population but we can
only really achieve this if we focus on the core objective
of changing lives for the better”
Our challenge was to look at what was needed versus
what was available and devise a plan that creates
awareness among the rural population about the
usage of latest IT trends.
So we came up with “Digital Village” Concept
as an enabler to positively impact lives

3. The Digital Village demonstrates our innovative
approach to investing in people and their communities.
This initiative offers a complete educational
infrastructure, comprehensive healthcare solution and
power generation capabilities that will spur,
the growth of small villages and harness
the energy of the sun to minimise running costs, among
others.

4. We’ve paid specific attention to
solutions which are:
Cost-effective
Mobile
Easy to set up
which are suited to the harsh climatic conditions of India

5. Solar Powered Internet School
Solar Powered Tele-Medical Centre
Solar Powered Dental and Blood Analysis
Clinic
Solar Power Generator
Internet Access Point
Administrative Centre
All products have been developed to be low maintenance, with extended lifecycles
The Digital Village consists of Seven key
integrated solutions which includes a:

6. Exclusively solar-powered
Mobile and completely independent classroom that seats 24 students
Also developing awareness related to the usage of latest IT trends
Container fully equipped with complete education curriculum and smart school
technology
This is aimed at increasing accessibility to education and connectivity across
Indian Subcontinent.

7. Provides professional, qualified medical care, thereby
eliminating economic and geographic barriers.
The Solar Powered Health Centre is equipped with ear,
eye and mother and child assessing facilities.
It also has a state-of-the-art blood analysis machine for
on-the-spot diagnosis, as well as tools to treat dental
complications.

8. The centre which is specifically designed for
rural areas, offers professional medical
treatment, quick medical diagnosis and health
education,
Internet access through Google loon.
This will reduce the need for qualified
doctors in rural areas
It minimizes the need for rural dwellers to
travel to urban areas for medical attention

9. Traditional diesel generators utilise non-renewable resources
and pollute the environment with fumes and noise
Negligible maintenance cost
A solar power generator can be deployed in less than an hour
and for increased power needs, a number of generators can
be easily chained
The generator is also an ideal solution for Community power
needs

10. Administrative Centre will serve as the coordinating hub for
all the Digital Village activities in the rural community
This put together to benefit the community in the delivery of
health care services, education and employment.

11. Project Loon is a network of balloons traveling on the
edge of space, designed to connect people in rural &
remote areas.
“Balloon powered internet for all”

12. Project Loon balloons float in the stratosphere, twice as high as airplanes.
They are carried around the Earth by winds and they can be steered by
rising or descending to an altitude with winds moving in the desired
direction.
People connect to the balloon network using a special internet antenna
attached to their building

13. Project Loon uses software algorithms to determine
where its balloons need to go, then moves each one into a
layer of wind blowing in the right direction.
By moving with the wind, the balloons can be arranged
to formone large communications network.

15. Each balloon can provide connectivity to a
ground area about 40 km in diameter at
speeds comparable to 3G.
Each balloon is equipped with
a GPS for tracking its location
How loon Connects

17. We have a team of IT and mechanical professionals through
we’ll get enough support for launching this project
Direct interaction between the professionals and common people
Helps everyone to get updated about the latest knowledge
Technology updates on regular basis
Optimized power consumption
Lack of interest with common people to
learn new technology

18. Lack of market in this new sort of
technology
Eagerness of village people to know about
emerging IT trends
Inexperienced as it is a way of approach
It will take some time to build up the trust factor
Lack of budget which leads to limited resourcesLack of healthcare facilities available in
villages

19. The Digital Village model addresses one of India’s largest challenges –
social upliftment. On average, more than 70% of rural population will
benefit from digital village concept, which in turn result in isolated
communities with limited access to education, healthcare and
connectivity – all of which are key to socio-economic upliftment
. “The initiative is an example : a keen focus on education, healthcare
and access and harnessing the environment friendly energy
innovation to respond to the felt needs of people on India,”

20. FIXED EXPENSES EXPECTED AMOUNT/YEAR
FURNITURE 2,00,000
COMPUTERS 1,00,000
TRUCK CONTAINER 1,25,000
SHIPPING COST 1,00,000
STAFF 4,80,000

25. Solar Power Generator
Traditional diesel generators utilise non-renewable
resources and pollute the environment with fumes and
noise
Negligible maintenance cost
A solar power generator can be deployed in less than an
hour and for increased power needs, a number of
generators can be easily chained
The generator is also an ideal solution for Community
power needs

26. A Solar Power Generator that does not emit pollutants and has negligible
maintenance cost has also been deployed to supply power to the host
community to boost small businesses in the area, while the
Administrative Centre will serve as the coordinating hub for all the Digital
Village activities in the Oban community

27. • Solar Powered Internet Schools - the exclusively solar-powered, mobile
and completely independent classroom is geared at increasing accessibility
to education and connectivity across Africa.
• Solar Power Generator – Traditional diesel generators utilise non-
renewable resources and pollute the environment with fumes and noise. A
solar power generator can be deployed in less than an hour and for
increased power needs, a number of generators can be daisy chained. The
generator is also an ideal solution for homeowners, small businesses,
remote border posts and schools.
• Solar Power Health Centre - provides professional, qualified medical
care, thereby eliminating economic and geographic barriers.
• Telemedical Centre - provides remote medical assistance through a
centralised pool of medical expertise and experience. This will reduce the
need for qualified doctors in rural areas and reduce the distances that
patients need to travel for diagnosis.
• LED lighting - the solar-powered lantern uses light emitting diodes
(LEDs), which are more energy efficient and last much longer than
conventional light bulbs. Charged from a central charging kiosk that is
equipped with a solar rooftop, the lanterns are expected to provide lighting
for more than 10 years while producing no greenhouse gases.
All products have been developed to be low maintenance, with extended
lifecycles.
