Gujarat signed a Letter of Intent with Starlink to deploy satellite-based broadband connectivity in remote, tribal, and underserved regions. The agreement, signed in Gandhinagar, aims to bridge the digital divide by strengthening e-governance, healthcare, education, disaster management, and industrial connectivity. Pilot projects will cover tribal and Aspirational Districts such as Narmada and Dahod. The initiative aligns with the Digital India vision and seeks to ensure last-mile digital access, enabling efficient public service delivery, telemedicine, smart classrooms, and improved emergency response systems across the state.
