Cyber Grameen venture Andra Pradesh

Cyber Grameen venture to bridge digital divide

A quiet village on the National Highway 5 near Nellore was today buzzing with activity.

Several Union Cabinet Ministers, Ministers of the Andhra Pradesh Government and a host of dignitaries including top officials of Andhra Bank, Indian Bank and United Insurance, descended at Venkatachalam to commission the first rural broadband convergence project christened— Cyber Grameen.

In an innovative video-conferencing covering nearly seven to eight centres, right from New Delhi, Hyderabad, the Ramoji Film City, Mumbai among others, this village centre, located near the home town of the BJP President, Mr M.Venkiah Naidu, was commissioned today.

Cyber Grammen is a rural broadband venture that brings in convergence aimed at bridging the digital divide.

More interestingly, it provides a single-point interface for various Central and State Government services apart from providing edutainment, rural healthcare and telemedicine.

Backed by an Internet broadband, Cyber Grameen, developed by Swarna Bharat Trust, a non-profit organisation, has been created to serve as a model to similar projects where host of technology products and services are offered at the doorstep in a remote village. By utilising these projects and services, villagers can not only learn more about the Government initiatives, but also have access to the whole of the world by using VoIP (voice over Internet telephony).

The Swarna Bharat Trust is chaired by the Chennai-based Chairman nad Managing Director of Spartek group, and has on it some other industrialists. The project was conceived and developed towards giving something back to the society, according to Mr Krishna Prasad Tripuraneni, CMD, Spartek group.

Apart from offering telecom services, the centre serves as a single point interface for a village where a farmer can access valuable agricultural and weather-related information to empower and help them in their day-to-day activities. The centre has a modern telemedicine centre with a hook-up for consultancy from any part of the world.

The Union Minister for Urban development, Mr Anant Kumar, describing the centre as the first of its kind said that all efforts would be made to ensure that more such centres were set up across the country. Many more Cyber Grameen centres are planned in other parts of the country wherein they will start providing villages with the benefits that Venkatachalam will derive from the rural broadband technology.

Well, what does the Cyber Grameen centre do for a villager? Right from telephony services, telemedicine, distance learning, high speed Internet and e-mail, it has a retail store as well.

In the sphere of agricultural services, this centre provides expert advice on crop protection, market facilities and agricultural produce buy and sell price quotes.

The Cyber Grameen centre has entered into arrangement with the computer education training company, SISI, wherein a computer-training lab will be maintained.

This lab will serve as a multi-purpose community computer education centre. This innovative concept is designed to serve as a video-conference centre that provides a two-way interactive video and voice, which facilitates easy communication across the world. In a demonstration of this facility, a group from the Directorate of Development of Women and Children (DWCRA) interacted with the Chief Minister, Mr N. Chandrababu Naidu.

Even the rural banking concept is set to change. The Cyber Grameen centre provides people access to various banking services. By using this centre, one can make online deposits, withdrawals, demand drafts, passbook updation and other services.

To make these centres self-reliant, the trust is keen to put a revenue model is in place.

Towards this end, a digital entertainment facility has been created where villagers can have access to movies and other entertainment at a nominal fee.

This amount will in turn be deployed for other community welfare related use.

Corporate medical facility for village

HYDERABAD: Global Hospitals here has been linked with Cyber Grameen at Venkatachalam in Nellore district to make sophisticated medical facilities accessible to villagers through a tele-medicine project.

Swarna Bharat Trust has launched the project for the benefit of people in and around the village.

The project obviates the need of the villagers to visit Hyderabad for diagnosis and treatment of their ailments. Local doctors can make use of the service of specialists of Global Hospitals who can talk to patients, study data and images transmitted to them, diagnose diseases and offer suitable line of treatment.

Sachin Tendulkar Named Cricket World Cup 2015 Ambassador

2015 உலகக் கோப்பை கிரிக்கெட் தூதராக சச்சின் டெண்டுல்கர் நியமனம்

2015 உலகக் கோப்பை தூதராக சச்சின் டெண்டுல்கர் நியமனம்.

ஆஸ்திரேலியா, நியூசிலாந்தில் நடைபெறும் ஐசிசி 2015 உலகக்கோப்பை கிரிக்கெட் போட்டித் தொடருக்கான தூதராக இந்திய நட்சத்திரம் சச்சின் டெண்டுல்கர் நியமிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளார்.

2011 உலகக்கோப்பை போட்டிகளுக்கான தூதராகவும் சச்சின் டெண்டுல்கர் பொறுப்பு வகித்தார் என்பது குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது.

2015 பிப்.14-ஆம் தேதி முதல் மார்ச் 20-ஆம் தேதி வரை நடைபெறும் இந்த உலகக்கோப்பை கிரிக்கெட் போட்டிகளுக்கு விளம்பரத் தூதராகவும், ஐசிசி-யின் பல்வேறு முயற்சிகளையும் சச்சின் டெண்டுல்க்ர் விளம்பரப்படுத்துவார்.

சச்சின் டெண்டுல்கர் 463 ஒருநாள் போட்டிகளிலும் 200 டெஸ்ட் போட்டிகளிலும் விளையாடியுள்ளார். உலகக் கோப்பை போட்டிகளில் சச்சின் டெண்டுல்கர் 45 போட்டிகளில் 2,278 ரன்களை 56.95 என்ற சராசரியில் எடுத்து அதிக ரன்களுக்கான சாதனையை தன்வசம் வைத்துள்ளார் சச்சின்.

2003 உலகக் கோப்பை போட்டித் தொடரில் 673 ரன்கள் எடுத்து தொடர் நாயகன் விருதைப் பெற்றார் சச்சின்.

“தொடர்ந்து 2-வது முறையாக ஐசிசி உலகக் கோப்பை கிரிக்கெட் தொடர் தூதராக நியமிக்கப்பட்டதை எனது மிகப்பெரிய கவுரவமாக கருதுகிறேன்.

கடந்த 6 உலகக் கோப்பை கிரிக்கெட் போட்டிகளில் விளையாடிய பிறகு இந்த உலகக் கோப்பை எனக்கு வித்தியாசமான அனுபவமாக இருக்கும், ஏனெனில் நான் போட்டிகளை பார்வையிடுபவனாக இருப்பேன். 1987-ஆம் ஆண்டு உலகக் கோப்பை போட்டிகளின் போது பந்துகள் எடுத்துப் போடும் சிறுவனாக இருந்தேன், அதன் பிறகு இப்போது விளையாடாமல் போட்டிகளில் வேறு விதமாக பங்கேற்கிறேன்.

ஒரு சாம்பியன அணி உலகக் கோப்பையை வென்று கோப்பையைத் தூக்கும் போது அது பல இளம் தலைமுறையினருக்கு உத்வேகத்தை அளிக்கும். இலக்கை நோக்கி பயணிக்கும் கனவை அவர்களிடத்தில் வித்திடும். நானும் 22 ஆண்டுகளாக இத்தகைய கனவை துரத்தி கடைசியில் 2011-ல் பூர்த்தி அடைந்தேன்” என்றார் சச்சின் டெண்டுல்கர்.

The International Cricket Council on Monday announced Sachin Tendulkar as the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 ambassador. It will be the second successive time that the India maestro will be the Ambassador of ICC's pinnacle tournament, after he fulfilled the role in the previous event, which was co-hosted by Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka in 2011.

In his role as a World Cup 2015 ambassador, Tendulkar will promote and support a variety of ICC initiatives to enhance the profile of the tournament, which is the third biggest sporting event in the world and will take place in Australia and New Zealand from February 14 to March 29.

Tendulkar retired from international cricket last year after representing his country in 200 Tests, 463 One-Day Internationals and one Twenty20 International. In a career spanning 24 years, the 41-year-old scored a total of 34,357 international runs and 100 centuries.

Tendulkar added the missing World Cup title to his long list of achievements in his sixth attempt in 2011. He is the all-time leading run-getter in World Cup history with 2,278 runs in 45 matches at an average of 56.95. For his 673 runs in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2003, he was awarded player of the tournament as India finished runner-up to Australia.

Commenting on his appointment, Tendulkar said: "I am delighted and honoured to be appointed ICC Cricket World Cup Ambassador for the second successive time.

"After playing in the last six editions, the upcoming World Cup will be a different experience as I will follow it from the sidelines. It could probably be comparable to the ICC Cricket World Cup 1987 where I was a ball boy, enthusiastically cheering every ball.

"The excitement of the World Cup grows with every new edition and this year's host nations, Australia and New Zealand, are known for their sporting culture, great cricket facilities and knowledgeable crowds. Lifting the World Cup is every international cricketer's quest and the tournament brings out the best of individuals and competing teams.

"The image of the champion team lifting the World Cup inspires many youngsters around the world and gives them a dream to chase - a dream which I fulfilled after 22 years of relentless pursuit by being part of the victorious Indian team in 2011."

ICC Chief Executive David Richardson said: "The ICC is delighted to once again have Sachin as an Ambassador for its biggest and most prestigious tournament. Sachin is not only an inspiration to cricketers but to all sportspeople for his endurance, perseverance, talent, personality and commitment to the game."

The 11th edition of the World Cup kicks off in Christchurch on February 14 when co-hosts New Zealand take on former champion Sri Lanka. On the same day at the picturesque Melbourne Cricket Ground, four-time world champion Australia will square-off against England, which reached the final the last time the event was staged in Australia/New Zealand in 1992.

A total of 49 matches will be played across 14 venues, seven in New Zealand (Auckland, Christchurch, Dunedin, Hamilton, Napier, Nelson and Wellington) and seven in Australia (Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Hobart, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney).

The format of the tournament is the same as the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011, i.e. two groups of seven sides each, quarter-finals, semi-finals and final. All the knock-out stage matches will have reserve days.

Apart from the 10 Full Members, four qualifiers - Afghanistan, Ireland, Scotland and the United Arab Emirates - will take part in the tournament.
