The Gramsat Programme (GP) is an initiative to provide
communication networks at the state level connecting the state capital to
districts and blocks. The networks provide Computer Connectivity, Data
Broadcasting and TV Broadcasting facilities having applications like
e-Governance, National Resource Information System (NRIS), Development
Information, Tele-conferencing, Disaster Management, Tele-medicine and Distance
Education.
The Gramsat networks are operational in Orissa, Andaman &
Nicobar Islands, Rajasthan and West Bengal. Now, the plans are to provide the
integrated services thro' a single hub for the state networks - i.e. a grid for
diverse developmental services, with integration of Satcom networks with
existing communication infrastructure for seamless information thro' hybrid
systems.
