520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc Despite the improvements in Information and Communication Technologies, the gap between those who know the use of information technology and those who do not know are widening in a considerable rate. The internet as a tool of communication is very wellpenetrating both rural and urban areas of India. It is agreeable due to factual evidence that the daily usage of internet has grown to a great extend in both rural and urban India but a large number of population use the internet enabled communication technology only for entertainment purposes and connecting with social media applications. The digital divide as a social phenomenon exists in all the walks of life of Indians because India is a Country that utilises the e-governance in all possible fields of administration. It identifies the digital dividein education, health and financial sectors. In the education sector a large number of teachers lack the desired amount of knowledge for how to utilise digital technology for effective communication with students. The Indian health system has grown increasingly digital, and the digital ecosystem demands a more inclusive set of actors. However, the lack of infrastructure facilities for the mission mode implementation of programmes, as well as lack of digital literacy on the part of the receivers, created an obstacle in the program's implementation.The Digital Divide problem is pervasive in the economy's financial sector, posing a serious threat to the financial industry's total digitization.- Reproduced
