Universal Access to Mobile Connectivity
This pillar focuses on network penetration and filling the gaps in connectivity/network coverage in the country.
Around 55,669 villages in India do not have mobile coverage yet. As part of the comprehensive development plan for the North East, work has been initiated to provide mobile coverage to such villages in the North East.
Mobile coverage to remaining uncovered villages would be provided in a phased manner. [Nodal department: DoT]
