2. Our Vision
… to become a Knowledge organization that
spurs the knowledge revolution in developing
countries and acts as a catalyst for creating,
sharing, and applying cutting edge knowledge
necessary for poverty reduction and economic
development
3. Why focus on Knowledge?
The knowledge revolution offers a historic
opportunity to redraw the global economy by:
– enhancing competitiveness of developing countries
– offering new opportunities for economic growth
– leapfrogging technologies
– increasing returns on investments in education and
health
– empowerment of local communities and the poor
4. But there is also the risk of a
growing divide….
both in access to knowledge
and in access to the technologies that are
powering the knowledge revolution

14. Connectivity is a requirement
It is next to impossible to envision markets with less than 5%
voice penetration leapfrogging into Internet connectivity
Competition is the Vehicle
Competition leads to decreased prices, subscriber growth &
new technology development. We must promote competition,
while supporting universal access via innovative government
support, focusing on convergence issues
Infrastructure Support Systems Are Critical
Systems and services that support and deliver information such
as postal and financial services, are a vital component of public
action
Education is the Enabler
Internet has higher social entry barriers than voice, requiring
literacy and ICT exposure at a minimum
Strategies
15. Networking and Poverty Reduction
ICTs for Economic Growth

30. What is the Impact of
E-Commerce on the Society?
COVID-19, the new normal, we all are
familiar with what I am talking about. The
COVID19 Pandemic has changed
everything, work from home, online school,
online college and everything including
shopping. Well, e-shopping or e-commerce
was present in pre-COVID times but no one recognized the
power of e-commerce. The COVID-19 has given a push to
all the digital things which were present right there, but we
are not much concerned about it. E-commerce saves a lot
of time but not many used it before COVID times, but now
everyone relies on the internet.
31.
So, anyone who can access the internet can
participate in E-commerce activity. E-
commerce consists of two types:
Shopping
Trading Stocks
32. We all are aware with e-shopping,
Amazon, Flipkart, Tata Cliq, are some
good examples of e-shopping. There are
some sites that provide only a certain type
of product like JIO Mart which offers only
grocery whereas Flipkart Amazon sells
everything. On the other hand, if we talk
about Trading stocks, so earlier it was so
difficult for common people as they have
not much knowledge also they have to
spend lots of money on agents, but now
there is reform in this sector.
33. Influence on the User
E-commerce has changed the perception of the
business. It has affected every individual which
was part of the business whether a consumer,
seller, advertiser or the business model itself.
Today the internet becomes part of our life,
which saves our lot of time. We can not imagine
going to banks every day for small transactions
and all. We are engaged in so much work that
we do not have time for shopping and here the
E-commerce comes into the picture, that offers
comfort, convenience, comfort and most
importantly, it saves time.
34.
35. E-commerce and online shopping
in India are achieving remarkable
and remarkable growth as more
and more Internet facilities, high
educational standards, lifestyle
change, and the country’s
economic growth are being used
more and more. Demand for
electronic commerce techniques
and tools.
36. Advantages of e-Commerce to
Customers
Provide details of the virtual
showcase on websites with online
catalogs.
Reduced prices due to contests
(coupons and offers).
Access and convenience 24 hours.
The global market for the purchase or
sale of the product.
37. Provide secure business transactions
It is easier to compare prices with other
premium brands
Do not stay online or be held forever
Many options and range (options and
options)
Return products if it is of lower quality
Time savings and reviews of easy
review.
38. Advantages of e-Commerce to Business
Increase in potential market share by increasing
the customer base
Use of EDI, B2B data exchange
Low barriers to items
Provide safe business and instant transactions
Participate in retail for the launch of new
products and services- 24/7, 365 days of sales

Reduction of employee costs
39. Disadvantages of e-Commerce for
Customers
Unable to personally examine the products
Privacy and security in online purchases

Hidden cost
Lack of personal interaction
40. Disadvantages of e-Commerce
