Internet SBI funds 50 Internet kiosks in TN village Our Bureau
Coimbatore , Nov. 17 THE rural Internet kiosk concept appears to be picking up with bankers moving forward by extending financial assistance for setting up such kiosks. Fifty rural Internet kiosks are to be opened at Paruvachi village in Bhavani taluk on Tuesday. The entire proposal is being financially assisted by State Bank of India. Speaking to Business Line, the bank's Deputy General Manager, Mr W. Chanti Babu, said that some of the interior villages had the facility of the kiosk and the villagers were able to establish a link with the outside world. "Some of our branches in the interior villages send the weekly update via the Net, as these areas cannot be reached even on mobile phones. The branch heads forward the details through the rural Internet kiosk," he added. The loan for establishing such kiosk is emerging as a focus area at present.
