THE IMPACT OF DIGITALIZATION ON RURAL INDIAN SOCIETY: A SOCIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS

Abstract

This paper examines the profound impact of digitalization on rural Indian society, focusing on the period from 2010 to 2024. Through a comprehensive sociological analysis, we explore how the rapid adoption of digital technologies has transformed various aspects of rural life, including education, healthcare, agriculture, and social interactions. The study draws on both quantitative data and qualitative observations to present a nuanced understanding of the digital revolution in rural India and its implications for social structures, economic opportunities, and cultural practices.
