INTRODUCTION
Information
Technology is a must to every citizens of India for self-development,
communities, states and country as a whole. Computer & Internet know how
and allied Services are very much lagging behind in rural area like Pallel
(Chandel District) which gives a great hindrance in development. People being
illiterate, aren’t aware of the various simplified services given by the
Government. Lack of technology and awareness, students miss various
opportunities sanctioned by the Government. In view of this, setting up a
Computer, Internet and Allied services will bring a great benefits to the
citizens of the area. This is only
service oriented unit. The unit will offer the services to the customers as
they required and the customer will pay the bill amount according to the rates
fixed for services. A
Cyber Café is basically an Internet Access Centre. It is a place to chat, check
or send email, surf/browse the intrenet etc. Cyber Café are espcially useful
for those who don't have access to Internet and are very handy when you are out
of town and need to stay in touch with your office or family. As we are aware
that recent growth in the field of computer, Internet & e-mail have created
revolution in Information Technology field. Internet has engineered many diversification and
business growth opportunities in IT sector. Cybercafés, e commerce,
telemedicine call centers to name a few are some of the IT enable services
which has shown tremendous potential for growth in recent times. The cyber
cafes are considered to be lucrative business option for IT entrepreneurs. The
cybercafés are places which provide net browsing facilities to people. It is
also a place to relax, communicate with people and make friends by using
internet. A number of cybercafés have come up in the sate Agartala in a span of
three years. Although some of the cybercafés which have come up lack the modern
amenities like dinning services, music, video conferencing, online games, etc. however,
these provide facilities for people who would like to get the most out of net.
MARKET
POTENTIAL
The advantages of DTP over the
traditional type setting, designing and printing has modernized the printing
industry for quality, efficiency and productivity. DTP has replaced the old
concept of letter setting and printing .DTP facility has ample opportunities
for undertaking job work on sub-contract basis for printing and publishing
houses, Govt. departments, educational institutions, business houses,
industries, advertisement agencies and industrial. There is good scope for
using DTP facility for designing and producing newsletter, certificates, data
sheets, brochures and catalogues etc. The electronics technology is undergoing
rapid strides of change and there is need for regular monitoring of the
national and international technology scenario. The unit may therefore keep
abreast with the new technologies in order to keep them in pace with the
development for global competition. Quality today is not only confined to the
product or service alone ,it also extends to the process and environment in
which the product is generated. The unit may adopt ISO 9000 standard for global
competition. Use of Internet facilities may add to the quality of DTP
standards. There is a
good demand for such type of centre. Whereas Manipur, in particular Nungourok
and its surrounding area viz – Pallel Bazar area which is the Asian Highway to
Myanmar which will turn out to be a fast growing business centre, the demand
for cybercafés will be more as more people are likely to flock these centres
for sending e mail and downloading valuable information from the net and do
online business transactions too.
