Presently, there are large areas in India where Internet access is slow or even non-existent. This is particularly true in rural areas, where sparse populations and irregular landscapes
(water bodies, mountains etc.) often make it difficult or expensive to roll out high-speed
Internet connections. Settlements in the rural areas are often situated several kilometers
away from the nearest location w

ith access to high speed Internet. Even in the case of
wireless technologies, the sparse distribution of homes in the rural areas makes it difficult
for wireless signals to propagate in every home. Recent studies on the utilization of different frequency bands have shown that in most
frequency bands, large portions of the wireless spectrum is heavily under-utilized. The UHF TV band (470 − 806 MHz) has good propagation and building pe*******on
characteristics. This potentially makes the TV White Spaces ideal for use in rural broadband
applications, where transmission links may be several kilometers in length and may
involve challenging terrain such as hills, foliage, and water. Refer to the following papers for more information:

Esevaks are the real heroes in this project. They have learned how to use the Internet for various basic eServices. They are making a great impact on the life of villagers by doing chores like paying electricity bills otherwise for which they had to spend money to travel to Palghar city to do so. Now, its free for them. Cheers PUKAR team!!
