In the context of digital divide and the need to bridge the digital divide, we try to present the perception of Matrubhasha and it’s features that can bridge the digital divide. Introduction The word "Divide" is a term that the people of India are familiar with. As a developing economy, the country has had to constantly deal with disparities between people at different levels. Whether it is the divide between the rich and the poor, or the chasm between the literate and the uneducated, India has had to grapple with issues that have divided its people into the haves and the have- nots. More recently, the divide factor has taken a more ominous, more debilitating form. Despite the Internet's democratizing potential, it has been recognized from the outset of the digital revolution that there is a very real danger that there will be two different societies in India, the "information rich" and the "information poor." In the present era of human computer interaction, the educationally under privileged and the rural communities of India are being deprived of technologies that pervade the growing interconnected web of computers and communications. In the present era of human computer interaction, the educationally under privileged and the rural communities of India are being deprived of technologies that pervade the growing interconnected web of computers and communications. As of now, the benefits of IT are only being enjoyed by a select few Indians and not by the populace at large. The main problem behind this is the availability of information on technology and its usage in English, a language known to only about 2% of Indians. The result is digital divide that keeps the Indian masses away from reaping the benefits of advancements in the fields of Electronics, Telecom and IT. The Digital Divide-the yawning gap between citizens who have access to and know computers and those who will never interface with the new age devices-is expected to further alienate the country's underprivileged people, particularly those residing in the country's rural hinterland. The advances we make are totally inaccessible by a large number of countrymen. The Digital Divide is a scourge that needs to be eradicated if India wants to move forward, integrate with the global village and participate in the world-wide economy. In this information age, storage and retrieval of information in a convenient manner has gained importance.
