Technology alone is no silver bullet. Technology will lead to the kind of impact envisioned only if appropriate structures and processes are built for people to be able to use it for empowerment. Technology can be used as a powerful lever to set many things right: address inequities, improve democratic governance, accelerate knowledge sharing. However, technology needs to be built specifically for the underserved and marginalized, otherwise it tends to exacerbate inequality. We place emphasis on the role of communities, building and nurturing relevant community support structures and the need to build human capacity and channel the right intent to address the gaps. It is hence important to acknowledge the significant contributions and amplify the role of community-based and civil society organizations in mitigating many of these issues, empowering communities and to make welfare benefits more accessible and transparent (Learnings from Gram Vaani's journey) It was an absolute pleasure collaborating with Archana Kannan and team Indus Action, sharing our thoughts & learnings on this important topic.
