Greetings to all the participants of this forum. My name is Ruchita Khurana. I live in New Delhi, India. I have been working in the development sector in the area of ICT and communications for more than 10 years. Presently I am engaged in South Asia programme focussing on pro-poor livestock development. I join this forum to share and learn the prevalence of various ICT tools and approaches in the rural sector. I am sure it will be an interesting learning.
