P. P. Patil, Abhijit A. Patil, Vikas. V. Patil . Public Private Partnership based Distributed Computing for Societal Development: A Case Study of Drought Affected Rural Tahsil in Satara District (India. International Journal of Computer Applications. 93, 1 ( May 2014), 7-11. DOI=10.5120/16177-3494
Abstract
Availability of information has a key importance. Due to lack of in time information, the societal problems arises like disaster i. e. drought. Authors found that redressing of drought becomes more complex and rigorous. Survey shows that present computations does not support for public based sharing of the information to support and assist the community in the drought affected selected area viz. Tashil Khatav in Satara district. The public based systems are in place but their support is inadequate and it is found that there is big delay for providing the redressing information to the affected area and the community users. Authors felt a need to apply the Public Private Based Computing for the information sharing and availability to support the society in varied ways as a part of redressing strategy of drought affected community in the Satara district. Paper also suggests how does this computer based societal serving mode plays the vital role in the development of the user in the community which may help both the information providers and suppliers too with optimum usage of human resources and the components of Information Technology
