Abstract
Information and communication technology is the major tool to improve the quality of education. Indian Government invested huge amount for ICT to improve the education sector. Also, various ICT trainings are given to the school teachers through the government scheme. Though Pune is one of the top educational city, there is a lack of ICT tools in the rural area schools. This article is an extension to our earlier work based on requirement analysis of the computer literacy level of the rural and urban schools. The new scheme to improve the computer literacy level of rural teachers based on analysis of the rural teachers is proposed. The objective of defining this scheme is to enhance the capability of rural teachers to accept the new technology. This scheme mainly focuses on improving usage of computer, teaching skills and culture of rural education. This scheme will bridge the gap between rural and urban school teachers.
