ICTs and Development: A Study of Telecentres in Rural India

Maitrayee Mukerji
Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan (2013), xiii, 264 pp.
"This volume juxtaposes the global discourse on ICT-D and telecentres with in-depth empirical case studies on the pattern of access and use of telecenters in rural India to draw implications for policy and practice.
