Ankit Prakash Singh, Ph.D. in Journalism and Mass Communication · 2026 · International Scientific Journal of Engineering and Management

Summary. Digital innovations including mobile technology, social media, and citizen journalism significantly increase rural development awareness in India by bridging information gaps and empowering marginalized populations.

However, infrastructure deficits, uneven digital literacy, affordability, and misinformation risks remain barriers requiring policy intervention and capacity-building investment.
