"ICTs are constantly hailed as one of the most effective tools for economic progress. An ITU study (2005) describes ICTs as potentially powerful ?development enablers:? They are cost-effective with significant transformative power, allow developing countries to leapfrog several stages of the development process and, in furnishing individuals directly with tools for self-empowerment, avoid top-heavy and corrupt bureaucracies (Heeks, 1999; Karake Shalhoub & Al Qasimi, 2006). Specifically, Eggleston, Jensen, and Zeckhauser (2002) argue that ICTs ?can enhance the functioning of markets that are critical for the well-being of the poor? because ICTs can foster greater market integration in many ways. They allow firms and individuals in developing countries to contribute more competitively and with better ease in the regional, national and global economies and reduce uncertainty in doing business. Information concerning prices enables producers to plan their product mix and input purchases in a proficient manner. Access to ICTs allows producers to sell their products in the most profitable markets and find out the optimum timing of sale. Availability of price information shrinks the informational asymmetry between the rural producers and middlemen. ICTs reduce the exploitation of rural producers by emiddlemen. It is well unstated that any endeavour to revamp the quality of life of people in developing countries would be unfinished without the empowerment of women. Information and Communication Technologies [ICTs] are technological apparatus and resources to create, circulate, store, bring value?addition and manage information. The ICT sector embraces diverse segments such as telecommunications, television and radio broadcasting, computer hardware, software and services and electronic media etc. ICTs are mounting as a powerful tool for gender empowerment in a developing country like India. According to the 2004 report by Cisco Learning Institute women encompass only 23% of India’s internet users. This gender digital divide is characterised by low levels of access to technologies. Poverty, lack of computer literateness and language barricades are among the issues impeding access to ICT infrastructure."
