“…Based on the results of the overall samples, the findings provide insight into the impact of ICT on educational inequality, which may be affected by the affordability of information services. The allocation of educational resources will be more unreasonable, and the results of ICT's impact were similar to the findings of Ayanso and Lertwachara (2015) [24]. ICT changes the utilization efficiency of educational resources, and helps some learners to obtain more educational information.…”

“…From the results of the empirical analysis, the relationships among ICT, transportation infrastructure, and educational inequality were different in the overall sample and the subsamples. In previous studies on ICT, the affordability of information technology has been shown to change the role of ICT in the educational field [18,24]. However, transportation infrastructure as an important factor in promoting the economic development can bring more opportunities for the labor force [39,46,47].…”

“…However, ICT might reduce the utilization efficiency of educational resources [23]. Ayanso and Lertwachara (2015) analyzed the relationship between the development and affordability of ICT, finding that the pricing process of ICT limited users' experience and decreased the efficiency of information acquisition [24]. In terms of ICT affordability, there was a close relationship between information technology and the urban-rural gap, and digital resources could improve the efficiency of information acquisition, while users in backward areas would have difficulty enjoying the benefits of ICT [25].…”

Educational inequality is an important factor in the development of human capital, and limits the output of regional economic activities. The unequal distribution of educational resources has become a hot topic noticed by the public, and has restricted sustainable economic growth. This paper provides a better understanding of educational inequality, and explores the impacts of information and communication technology (ICT) and transportation infrastructure on the distribution of educational resources. The panel data models are constructed to discuss the relationship among ICT, transportation infrastructure, and educational inequality, using the data of 31 provinces in China from 2006 to 2016. The empirical results show that there is a positive relationship between ICT and educational inequality, while transportation infrastructure can restrain the unequal distribution of educational resources. Moreover, there is a significant inverted U-shaped relationship between transportation infrastructure and educational inequality. Since China’s education reform in 2010, the relationship among ICT, transportation infrastructure, and educational inequality has been significantly changed, as well as the influence mechanism of ICT. In addition, transportation infrastructure in China western regions can effectively alleviate the problem of educational inequality, and its impact will increase with the growth of transportation investments. It is necessary to consider the rational allocation of educational resources, and this is essential to relieve the problem of educational inequality. Therefore, our results demonstrate the key roles of information technology and transportation network in the field of education, and provide some new ideas for the solution of educational inequality.

The Economic development of the country also depends on its IT enabled services available to common citizens. The cost effective services, delivery mode and delivery time make the governance friendly to the citizens. But the conflicting and lengthy house's address system in India causes a lot of delays in services delivery. A house or building address could be used for various purposes like postal services, courier services, logistics services delivery, meetings, party venue etc. A high degree of failed service deliveries provide a gap to digitize the house address system to deliver accurate and faster services to the citizens. The paper proposes a conceptual method to digitize the house address system which may be stored electronically into a centralized database to reduce the time consuming process of writing and storing a lengthy address repeatedly for delivering the various services. The paper also explores the possibilities of how this digitized address could be integrated with the aadhaar database system to make it more potentially applied in terms of citizens' oriented applications and services. The digitized address would contribute significantly to transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy.

“…This index is published annually by the International Telecommunication Union. The ICT development index is a particularly valuable indicator to estimate the global digital divide and benchmark information technology development over time in the world(Ayanso & Lertwachara, 2015). The index is a composite of three sub-indicators: ICT access, use and skills.…”
