Why ICT
ICTs (Information & Communication Technologies) are an engine for growth & key of development. With the invention of the ICTs, the possibilities are endless and infinitives. Obviously, its role demonstrates that it hasn’t limitations and we can’t detect any type of certain boundaries over ICTs. The role of the ICTs in every segment of the society is additional imperative when civil societies think about encouragement & progress. As a consequence, Information is an enormously powerful tool or truly helps to explore various factors and aspects of society development without any effort. An active and ICTs literate civic society is always required for governing the social movement because strong civic society is the foundation of development and creation of equitable and informatics society.
