Description
INTRODUCTION Rural development through ICT development: Rural development strategy was initiated by the government for more than half a century in order to ensure the continuity of development for the rural community. One of the strategies to achieve this developmental goal is to introduce and encourage use of ICT among the rural community. Undoubtedly ICT is indeed an important tool for development. Michiels and Van Crowder (2001) has defined ICTs 'as a range of electronic technologies which when converged in new configurations are flexible, adaptable, enabling and capable of transforming organizations and redefining social relations'. ICT has a lot of benefits to offer such as enhance job performance, diversify tasks, speed up communication, save energy, increase income, increase productivity and many more (Rahman et al., 2005 and Ghazy et al., 2008).
