Lakshadweep will soon be eligible to get amenities like telemedicine, distance learning, and other benefits of connectivity as the Optical Fiber Cable laying ship reaches Kavartti from Kochi. Currently, the medium for telecom connectivity to Lakshadweep is through satellites, which offer bandwidth limited to 1 Gbps. The government has taken the initiative to provide ample bandwidth through dedicated OFC to improve the telecommunication facility at the Islands. This project is in line with the national objective of strengthening e-governance services and achieving the vision of Digital India.
