Kerala, a state in India known for its model of development, has not only joined this bandwagon but has selected ICTs as a means to pull the state out of its present crisis. Despite current development policies in Kerala that offer a red carpet welcome to ICT-based industries, the question is whether the state will be able to reap the benefits of ICTs as envisaged in its IT policy. The present paper examines the institutions of knowledge production in Kerala (academic and scientific sectors), which are generally the forerunner of other sectors in terms of their use of ICTs. Information is drawn from surveys of academic and government scientists in 1994 and 2000. We examine the extent to which ICTs have affected research communication and collaboration, processes which are crucial in developing a knowledge-based economy. Often it is argued that the availability of ICT resources is a key determinant in domestic and international collaboration, which in turn opens up opportunities for ICT-based development. However, the results of this study show that in spite of improved use and increased access to resources such as computers, email, and the web, the level of collaboration is extremely low in Kerala. | ||
