Abstract

The knowledge centres (KC) established by Development Research Foundation (DRF) were part of an ambitious project to disseminate valuable information to the rural masses. The KCs purpose was to bridge the digital divide, which was supposed to be run by the local community. The Vikaspur KC initiative had a lot of potentials, but due to local politics and conflict among a few stakeholders, it faced many problems. The differences among the volunteers were the core issues that ultimately led to the lockout of the KC. There was a lack of proper managerial structure at the ground level. The local village dynamics also influenced this issue. The political structures and dynamics also influenced the conflict at the Vikaspur KC at the micro-level (village level) and the meso-level (provincial level).

维卡斯普尔知识中心:社区组织中的微观政治

发展研究基金会建立的知识中心是向农村群众传播宝贵信息的一个雄心勃勃的项目的一部分。KCs的目的是弥合数字鸿沟，而数字鸿沟本应由当地社区管理。Vikaspur KC倡议有很多潜力，但由于当地政治和少数利益相关者之间的冲突，它面临许多问题。志愿者之间的差异是最终导致KC停摆的核心问题，基层缺乏适当的管理结构。当地村庄的动态也影响了这个问题。政治结构和动态也在微观层面(村一级)和中观层面(省一级)影响了维卡斯普尔KC的冲突。
