E-Commerce and Tele-Medicine

e-business of local products via internet and intra network has greatly encouraged rural villagers to do organic cheese, honey and ghee production, open Nepali paper and handicrafts based small enterprises and online marketing the local products. VOIP phone and opening cyber cafes along the tourist trail is also an opportunity to earn money. Due to easy access of information, many small scale income generating activities are doing by the villagers in the individual basis as well as being organized in group. In rural area there is a problem of market to reach the product such as honey, ghee, sugarcane, vegetables and other else. By using technology like E-commerce system, a farmer can share his product on line. Similarly someone can demand or order his needs in the common block or blog or in website.In Nepal, there is acute shortage of doctors in the rural villages. There is even no health post in remote rural villages. Majority of rural villagers depend on the traditional health care system which is entirely based on herbal constituents or spiritual offerings (shamanisms). To take basic facilities of quality health services in rural areas, pilot tele-medicine project is running in different centers. These rural centers are connected with the well equipped and facilitated hospital. In the absence of specialists in rural area, a doctor can use video tutorial system, live treatment system.
