Lakshadweep: The remote islands of Lakshadweep in the Arabian Sea are not having the facility of a daily news paper. The news paper from mainland reaches these islands only once in two weeks.
The INTERNET facility provided by the National Informatics Centre, at Kavaratti has proved to be very helpful in such a situation. NIC Lakshadweep Union Territory Unit is accessing the daily news from INTERNET and transferring the same to the Department of Information and Publicity, Lakshadweep for providing it to the people of Lakshadweep. The news downloaded at Kavaratti is also being transmitted to the ten remotest islands of Lakshadweep.
The Lakshadweep Administration praised this effort of NIC and is also planning to publish a daily news paper from Kavaratti with NIC's assistance.
