Google’s Educational Internet Bus starts its tour of Uttar Pradesh
Google’s Educational Internet Bus starts its tour of Uttar Pradesh: "Having traveled across South India, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana and Gujarat, the Google Internet Bus continues to add more miles and smiles as it enters the state of Uttar Pradesh. Its first stop will be Lucknow, followed by various towns and cities across U.P.
The Internet Bus is a custom designed mobile bus, which takes the internet experience to people in their preferred language. The main aim is to educate people about the Internet and how it may be beneficial to their lives.
Commenting on the successful run of the Google Internet Bus project, Srikanth Belwadi, Product Manager, Google India said, 'The Internet is a strong medium of knowledge. Our attempt through the Internet Bus is to spread awareness of this medium and its relevance in our daily life.'
The Internet Bus has enjoyed good success during its previous legs and has touched the lives of more than 12,00,000 Indians across 110 towns stopping at over 1000 locations. Surveys have indicated that over 30% of our visitors have gone online for the first time after visiting the Internet Bus and over 50% of our visitors have told at least five people about the benefits of the Internet.
Google aims to replicate the success of this project in Uttar Pradesh by providing people with a platform to experience the Internet.
Users across India will be able to follow the bus through its journey, see pictures and videos and join online communities by simply visiting www.google.co.in/internetbus.
