<h1>Digital connectivity empowerment expands rural remote-work infrastructure, piloting a village scheme to foster sustainable community livelihoods.</h1> The government launched a three-year monitored pilot under the 'Nomad Sikkim' programme to equip a village for remote workers with high-speed internet, uninterrupted power, work-friendly homestays and transport linkages, implemented in collaboration with an NGO, aiming to test viability and, if successful, replicate the model to promote sustainable tourism and local livelihoods.
