Summary
A parliamentary panel identified gaps in the BharatNet rural broadband program's rollout. Substantial infrastructure exists, yet operational Gram Panchayats remain below the program's goals. The committee called for a comprehensive performance audit to address implementation bottlenecks. They also requested a revised roadmap with clear accountability for full connectivity. Increased focus on Fibre-to-the-Home connections and network utilization was recommended.
