ON CTA USABILITY AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT IN INDIA

: Computer technology is recognized as potential solution tool to effectively solve real life problems to improve the pace of rural development in India. Ideally, Primary infrastructures of rural chunk have a strong correlation with Computer Technology Artifacts (CTA) usability. In this, effort has been made to represent some coarse relationships as crude subjective metrics to quantify usability of hardware components that may affect informally or intangibly rural development in India. This paper provides a roadmap to business personnel and researchers to judge, and preferably, measure CTA usability to speedup rural development. This effort may also help to stop moving out people in India from roots known as villages of leaving basic work of agriculture into cities for employment in service sector.
