OneWorld Foundation India works in the field of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) for sustainable development. One of our biggest achievements has been the ease with which we have been able to translate ICTs onto ground work in our efforts to empower communities. Through LifeLines India, we have been able to provide a service that allows the simple Indian farmer in the villages of Uttar Pradesh, in North India, to get information on agriculture over his mobile phone. This service has now been extended, in partnership with the Government of Rajasthan and UNICEF, to provide academic support to over 400,000 rural teachers. A toll-free platform allows government teachers to seeks answers to their queries from any place in Rajasthan. In association with the Ministry of Rural Development, Government of India, and the UNDP, we have developed an innovative project to improve the efficacy of India's flagship livelihood security programme – the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Scheme (MGNREGS). This initiative allows even unlettered people person to navigate through the technology, to access the relevant information on their own, and also conduct transactions with regard to his or her employment options. OneWorld Foundation India is currently working with the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DAR&PG), Government of India, to build an online knowledge & research initiative, Governance Knowledge Centre.
