Role of information communication and technology during Nepal Bandh (Nepali)

The far flung villages in Nepal are totally cut off from information during bandh in Nepal. The information not only reaches the villages through radio but also through print media. The knowledge centres in the villagers which acts as vital lifelines in imparting information gets affected during the bandh.

 News papers which are mostly printed in towns and cities cannot reach the far flung villagers during bandh and they are deprived of information. The information not only involves current news but information on health, Government schemes and development issues which cannot reach common people.
