There was once a time when it was considered that city students had a
competitive edge as they had easy access to all the resources. There were good
schools, colleges, tutorials, libraries and every other facility required for
the student to study better in the city. The smaller towns and villages didn’t
have much infrastructure or educational institutions. There was a vast divide
between the rural and urban student. The development of internet has now
blurred the borders between the rural and urban, especially in terms of
education. Now students can get the best software engineering books or electrical
engineering books even if they are in far flung areas. All they need is a
decent computer system and an internet connection.
Computing
technology has spread its wings far and wide, and even remote areas have access
to a computer and internet. Moreover, the development of affordable Smartphones
has made it easy even for budget users to get instant internet connectivity.
Students residing in the rural areas can easily get internet connectivity on
their Smartphones. So, even if they are not able to purchase a dongle for net
connection, they can use their mobile phones with their computers. They will be
able to browse websites and get all the learning material they need.
Once they go
online, students can visit an e-library and get the software engineering books or the electrical engineering
books that they are looking for. These books are usually very expensive when
bought as a hard copy. The soft copy of the engineering books can be downloaded
free or cost or for a minimal fee depending on the online library. So, they
don’t have to worry about money when it comes to buying books. Sometimes
students studying on scholarships will not have funding to get the best of the software
engineering books. E-libraries bring the popular books right to their desktop.
These online libraries have allowed students on a budget to get the best
engineering books from the top authors.
Rural students
may not have the facilities to travel to a top library in the city or visit the
bookshops because of financial conditions or other related problems. The
e-library takes the electrical
engineering books right to their desktop, so they don’t have to waste time
or money in travelling to the city.
E-libraries,
with their extensive selection of software engineering
books and electrical engineering books are indeed a boon for the rural
students.
