What IT can do in Nepal? How can it
help the poor?
 Power
of IT and Its Use in Nepal is the first book
that tries to address these questions. Published in
Nepali language, it explains the technical and practical
aspects of information technology and its significance
for the developing countries like Nepal.
There are two parts in the book. The first part deals
with the theoretical and technical aspects of information
and communication technology and its potentials for
development. The second part covers the potential and
challenges of IT in Nepal.
Because of the wide coverage of the topics and simple
style the book is useful for all walks of life –
students, researchers, development workers, planners
and policy makers.
Mr. Vinaya Kumar Kasajoo, author of the book, has focused
on the increasing digital divide within the country
and discussed specifically on the challenges and problems
of access and use of IT in Nepal, which may help the
planners and development communities.
The author has recommended various measures to reduce
digital divide in the country and to increase the access
and use of IT to the benefit of the poor and marginalized
section of the population, particularly those who live
in remote and rural areas.
The book is available at major bookshops and news stands
of the country. Regular price: Rs. 200. Special price
of Student Edition Rs. 100.
