Village Mobile Coverage

In the mist-covered hills of Himachal Pradesh, where nature's beauty can turn treacherous in a heartbeat, uniformed men of the Indian Army are writing a quiet story of hope, resilience, and selfless service.

The forum pledged full support in the government’s initiative of accelerating mobile connectivity in villages.

There are about 55,000 villages in India that do not have mobile coverage with the highest number of such locations in the state of Odisha, Parliament was informed today.

Mobile coverage is likely to be extended to all the 55,669 unconnected villages in the country over the next five years.

A Communications Ministry official made the statement, saying the expansion would fall under the Digital India programme.

Prasad said mobile service to uncovered villages in the country are likely to be provided in a phased manner over a period of five year.
