The Sustainable Access in Rural India (SARI) project, launched in the Madurai district of Tamil Nadu, sought to prove the efficacy of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in rural settings for enhancing health, education, and economic progress. The project's initial phase supplied internet access and applications to roughly 1,000 connections across 350 villages within the Madurai district. The SARI project was a joint initiative involving institutions including IIT Madras, MIT Media Lab, the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School, and the I-Gyan Foundation, in collaboration with n-Logue Communications Pvt.
