Mangalore, Sep 11: There are plans to extend the benefits of information technology to people in rural areas by implementing broadband internet service in rural areas of the country, said Milind Deora, minister of state, communications, IT and shipping.

He addressed media persons on Tuesday September 10 during his visit to Mulky Bappanadu Sri Durgaparameshwari Temple.

"Under Bharat Broadband Corporation, a project will be undertaken to optimise BSNL services in rural areas and all the necessary steps will be taken to give broadband facility to all gram panchayats," he said.

"In order to develop the city economically, steps will be taken to develop the New Mangalore Port and call more ships. The commercial roadblocks due to iron ore ban will be sorted out by encouraging coal imports and commercial exports," he said.

"The Aadhar card project will also be undertaken through post office," he added.

State youth services and fisheries minister K Abhayachandra Jain who was present on the occasion asked the minister to set up a postal circle office in Mangalore.

Milind Deora, his wife and father-in-law Manmohan Shetty of Adlabs were honoured on behalf of the temple by temple head Manohar Shetty.

Mulky panchayat president Shashikanth Shetty, vice-president Yogesh Kotian, entrepreneur Aravind Poonja, temple priest Sripathi Upadhyaya, Krishna Shetty, Kishore Shetty, Udaya Shetty, Uday Kumar Shetty, temple manager Shivashankar among others were present.

    BSNL WORST INTERNET PROVIDER. ALL THE CABLES AND OFFICE'S SHOULD BE BURNT.BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE ANY SHAME FOR COMPLAINING FOUR TIMES A WEEK. IT'S PAYING HUGE AMOUNT FOR NO SERVICE. BEING A GOVERNMENT LED PROJECT SHOULD HAVE BEEN UPGRADED YEAR BY YEAR. BUT IT IS DEGRADING DAY BY DAY.FOR YEARS THEY COULD NOT GOOD INTERNET CONNECTION TO THE URBAN AREAS AND NOW A NEW DREAM!FIRST SATISFY THE EXISTING CUSTOMERS,OTHERWISE CABLES WILL BE USED TO DRY CLOTHES.INSTEAD OF BSNL PRIVATE COMPANY WILL DO BETTER. BSNL IS "BAAP KA PROPERTY" FOR GOVERNMENT SERVANTS.

    This minister is visiting his in-law's house in mulky, not with the intention of doing any public services. I don't understand why media need to cover this which does not serve any purpuse..

    Now Bsnl is the worst managed,just a example for kaup exchange.During Monsoon internet line is get fault.It will take months to get repair. Even the J.E. is not aware of anything in and around the exchange jus passing time.If the internet is working it will take ages to open a page.Skype is not working we cannot check email.if we want to check any email we have to go udupi.if we complaint to these guys they will put the blame on national highway authority for damaging the cable.I dont know what to do? And even there are no private operators in Kaup area.

    If anybody wants to check the real pathetic condition of BSNL please visit Karnire (8 km from Mulki) Telephone exchange. They don’t have even five hundred meter cable in their stock since last two years for repair works. Long live BSNL!!!!

    Dear Sushant,

    U R 100% correct.No one can depend on BSNL connection.Last year I applied through their Indira Nagar office for BSNL connection to my flat at Old Airport main Road.Even after the expiry of two month's period they failed miserably to connect the internet to me.Even the deposit of Rs.500/- I have paid in advance has not yet been refunded in spite of my repeated visits to their office.

    BSNL in Bangalore has worst managed Internet connection.No speed,no consistancy,inferior quality devises etc.,Though I am using BSNL line(LL and Internet) since 2008,thinking of changeover to other net work connection.

    Dear Mr. Prabhu,
    Last year when I visited BSNL office in HAL 2nd stage, I was surprised to notice that the management of BSNL has miserably failed to maintain the office well.They have a very large building. Garbage was accumulated outside the ground floor.Floors were not at all moped probably for years. Milind Deora should first visit BSNL office instead of giving false promises for the people in Mangalore. He must have come to spend his time with his in-laws not to help any body there.Probably he may also have come to Mangalore to invest the wealth they have amazed.

    Good to know that our central government will initiate steps to have better internet connectivity in the rural areas.If they do it our coastal rural areas are going to develop well and even call centres can think of starting its office in the villages.Hope for the best.Thanq.

    MOT & IT need to take internet world to remote areas of villages of India with packages in terms pricing as BSNL has vast network facilities across India.Also one suggestion is to wi-fi in educational campus and other popular places...Govt must focus and implement E-Governance in every department..
