The paper examines the issue of the digital divide in all societies. It becomes more serious when the societies are already imbalanced with regard to economic and social structures. The people with access are becoming richer while the poor are being left behind aggravating the divide further. In this information era where earning is a function of learning the digital divide will keep a vast section of the society in dark age due to lack of access to information.
This is the exact issue of digital divide. This divide is not going to reduce unless there is a conscious effort from the policy makers and planners.. As it is stated correcting the digital divide, will provide the greatest opportunity for people to come out of poverty and ignorance. But the study shows the gap is continuously expanding throwing a big challenge to the planners to balance the twin objective of growth in digitization and reduction in the digital divide.
