Abstract

This paper presents some features of the contradictions in Andhra Pradesh’s economy today: the fast growth of IT and other technology-intensive industries in Hyderabad, and the alarming levels of distress among small farmers and landless labourers in rural areas of the State. In particular, the paper, through a field study of selected villages in Kuppam, tried to examine the extent to which information and communication technologies (ICTs) can aid development in rural Andhra Pradesh.
