The paper highlights the information needs and users’ dependence for information on
Community Information Centres (CIC) in Nagaland with emphasis on Medziphema block.
It also focuses on the effort needed for imparting computer literacy, information literacy
for preparing and powering the underprivileged rural masses through the use of ICTs in
such community centres. An attempt is made to reduce the challenges faced by disadvantaged
communities such as lack of suitable skill set, language barriers and low
literacy in using ICTs and the Internet through a simple, consistent and easy-to-use
interface that requires low level competence from users and through accessibility to the
use of multiple media (textual, audio, visual). |
