Approximately 1 billion Indians Don't Browse The internet

The Indian government, led by
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has made broadening internet access in the country one of his priorities, and also grown increasingly focused on
bringing more people to the
internet. But all these seems null & void as majority of indian citizens are still offline.


Nearly one billion people in India are yet to connect to the internet,
according to a World Bank report . As of 2014, India's population was estimated to be
around 1.3 billion, according to
data from World Bank and US' Census Bureau.

The report added that the internet adoption rate was high in government firms, but low for small and medium-sized
businesses.


With a wider adoption of the
internet, the World Bank says that India could see a major push in growth, job creation and general improvements in public services.
