Pattern of use of Information Technology in the districts of Assam

Information Technology is playing a major role in the development of a country in the recent decade. Timely information is one of the important key to development of a country. This timely information can help in gathering proper and accurate knowledge which in turn may help in enhancing the activities of the economy and hence development. Proper and timely information which is the need of the hour is possible only with the continuous use of the information technology. Knowledge can be continuously upgraded with use of Information Technology continuously. The continuous use of Information and Communication Technology can go a long way in increasing the activities of the economy but the use of information technology is not uniform. In fact many areas of developing and underdeveloped world are not well equipped and lack knowledge in the use of information technology. As use of information technology is very essential in order to enhance the working of the economy, the present paper makes an attempt to study the pattern of use of information technology in Assam. In this study, the state Assam was selected as this state is one of the developed states among the North-Eastern states of India. Thus, this paper makes an attempt to explore the use pattern of information technology among the districts of Assam. In order to explore the use among the districts, an index was computed on the basis of Wroclaw Taxonomic Technique. Wide variation was found among the districts of Assam which was visible from the composite index score which lied between 0.21 and 0.90. The study also categorized the districts on the basis of the computed composite index score into four stages: highly developed, medium, developing and low developed stages. The study found that a major part of the state were still under the developing stage.
