Telecom Minister Manoj Sinha said the government has successfully rolled out telecom connectivity across areas hit by Left-Wing Extremism (LWE).
Sinha said:
Vivaan Networks Limited has worked with Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited to set up a large part of this network, a significant portion of which is powered by solar energy. It will own and operate the network for five years.
The network across these LWE affected areas uses technology designed and manufactured indigenously and has been rolled out in less than 18 months. Part of the Prime Minister’s Pragati Programme, it has the active backing of the Union Home Ministry as well.
