 PDF |
ABSTRACT The Centre for Catalysing Change (2021) in Jharkhand observed that the main obstacles to digital access for young tribal living in remote areas were a lack of understanding and a fear of technology. They don't have a suitable setting for studying online, nor do they comprehend the notion. Nonetheless, not much research has been done on how the government, community, and culture contribute to the rural tribal population's ongoing digital divide. The current research analysed the challenges limiting digital literacy, ways and means to increase digital literacy and correlate the increase to increased employability of tribals. Cultural inhibition is found to be the top challenge for the current digital divide. Assistance and promotion by self-help groups are found to be the biggest game changes in increasing digital literacy. The research further analysed and found a direct correlation between digital literacy on increased employability in tribals. |
