As part of an initiative to help women go online, Google India and Tata Trust have collaborated on a program called Internet Saathi. The initiative includes cycle carts that will visit villages in parts of India and empower women and their communities by teaching about the internet and how to benefit from them.

Why bicycle? Google says the cart is “modeled on India’s traditional distribution system that is used to carry everything from ice-cream to industrial supplies.”

The initiative will start from Gujarat, Rajasthan and Jharkhand and will be rolled out across the country that aims to reach out to over 4500 villages and 5 lakh women and rural communities in the next eighteen months. The cart will be in the village for a minimum of two days every week for over a period of four to six months.
