EXCLUSIVE BOOK LAUNCH
SMART VILLAGES A GAME CHANGING INNOVATIONS IN SOCIAL ENGINEERING!
89 years ago Gandhi mentioned that India does not live in its towns but in its villages. And it’s interesting to know that 66% of India’s population still have their souls living in its rural regions. Unfortunately, uneven distribution of wealth and lack of infrastructure have prevented “India’s soul” from accessing proper healthcare. As the WHO reported, for every 1000 rural Indians, there are only 0.45 available doctors. AI can combat this issue by providing the right analytical data & addressing several other issues like dealing with mental health conditions and sexually transmitted diseases because of the stigma attached to them has often resulted in discouraging patients from seeking medical help.

At present, there are a total of 692 million active internet users in India, including 351 million from rural India and 341 from urban Indian. Our Paper estimates that there will be 900 million internet users in India by 2025.The urban population of the world has grown rapidly from 751 million in 1950 to 4.2 billion in 2018. Asia, despite its relatively lower level of urbanization, is home to 54% of the world’s urban population, followed by Europe and Africa with 13% each.Today, 55% of the world’s population lives in urban areas, a proportion that is expected to increase to 68% by 2050. Projections show that urbanization, the gradual shift in residence of the human population from rural to urban areas, combined with the overall growth of the world’s population could add another 2.5 billion people to urban areas by 2050, with close to 90% of this increase taking place in Asia and Africa, according to a new United Nations data set launched today.The 2018 Revision of World Urbanization Prospects produced by the Population Division of the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) notes that future increases in the size of the world’s urban population are expected to be highly concentrated in just a few countries. Together, India, China and Nigeria will account for 35% of the projected growth of the world’s urban population between 2018 and 2050. By 2050, it is projected that India will have added 416 million urban dwellers, China 255 million and Nigeria 189 million.
