Summary | Only 2% of internet users in rural India are women. This huge discrepancy is being addressed with a new campaign sponsored by Google. A local woman is teaching the other women (and some men) to use the internet to, for instance check the current national retail price of onions so that middle men cannot rip them off. She is also teaching illiterate women how to use the internet with voice command.
