Empowering Rural Development through Springer Nature books! 📚 We are thrilled to collaborate with the Tamil Nadu State Government in their initiative to train the Village Development Officers in Panchayats (village councils), to further support rural development in Tamil Nadu. 600 copies of our book ‘Madon: e-Governance for Development – A Focus on Rural India’ were made available at a nominal price to the Tamil Nadu Government.
