'Midas' - a brainchild of IIT Chennai, takes IT to rural masses
via TeNET
IF you are travelling to Melur, a small village tucked away amidst paddy fields in
Madurai district of Tamil Nadu, and your laptop runs out of battery, do not despair.
You can simply go to `Chirag Internet Illam' and reply to that important business
mail. Well, it may not be the typical place to find a cyber café, but Sukanya,
the owner of the facility, will tell you that it is her bread and butter. You may ask
how she gets customers in a village that has all of 1,000 people?
