RajIV, an Andhra Pradesh government undertaking, has received a private sector fillip following tie-ups with companies like ICICI, Hutch, Naukri.com et al. in bringing broadband connectivity to villages across the state.

This apart, there are some organisations that are looking at tying up with the consortium to provide weather information, etc, to farmers as well.
