Mobile phones will be given free to women of Rajasthan state
The Women Free Mobile Scheme of Rajasthan Government is also known as ‘Indira Gandhi Free Smartphone Scheme’. The main objective behind starting this scheme is to connect women to the internet and educate them. In today’s digital era, all the information is available on the internet. Women lack digital knowledge. In such a situation, this scheme has been started by the government to fulfill this. You can get whatever information you want on the internet, but even today many women are deprived of it. This is because they do not have a phone to run the internet. This scheme has been brought by the Rajasthan government to overcome this problem of women.
