India's youngest sarpanch, MBA Chavvi Rajawat makes her village Soda India's 1st IT-enabled one - Economic Times
...When Chavvi Rajawat tried to bring water to her parched village, she hit the bureaucratic wall of inefficiency.
The young, jeans-clad sarpanch of Soda village in Rajasthan was told that she had already spent more than the funds allocated to her, and that the fresh water reservoir she wanted to construct was now out of the question...
...Soda village has now tied up with German software vendor SAP to develop an internet and intranet portal, complete with a technology education lab. The portal would give Soda's 10,000 inhabitants 24x7 accessibility to the funds sanctioned for the village...
