Metaverse and its Challenges in India

Abstract

Digital Development in India is growing rapidly but only within the urban areas and not in rural areas, not much people are aware of metaverse. There should be awareness and plans regarding the govt initiative to develop smart villages in rural areas thanks to all the shortage of basic resources in rural areas people cannot connect with others via a telephone where the services like WIFI-calling and video calling comprise a luxury category. People in rural areas have the habit of being old style where they like meeting nose to nose rather than a video call or telephone. To inculcate in them the habit of using a digital medium of communication initially basic facility is required. When all the essential services like electricity and internet connection are going to be provided in every corner of the country all the people may be able to use this virtual medium of communication called metaverse. While the urban areas are digitally more developed only few people have used or would really like to use metaverse this might flow from to the shortage of information or fear of privacy issues.
