Developing a Green Cloud-Based e-Library System for Remote Areas in India

Abstract

This study explores the development of a green cloud-based e-library system tailored for remote areas in India, where access to educational resources is often limited due to geographic isolation and inadequate infrastructure. The proposed system leverages cloud computing technology to provide vast digital libraries that can be accessed by users in these underserved regions, thereby bridging the educational gap. A key focus of the study is the integration of green computing practices, ensuring that the system is not only efficient but also environmentally sustainable, reducing its carbon footprint.The research examines the specific technological requirements for deploying such a system, including the need for reliable internet connectivity and energy-efficient data centers. It also delves into the socio-cultural factors that influence the adoption of digital libraries in remote communities, highlighting the importance of culturally relevant content and community engagement.By analyzing existing models and identifying best practices, the study provides a comprehensive framework for developing and implementing green cloud-based e-library systems in remote areas of India. The findings suggest that such systems can significantly enhance educational access, promote socio-economic development, and contribute to environmental sustainability. This research offers valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and technology developers aiming to create inclusive and sustainable educational solutions for remote regions.
