Research In Motion (RIM) wants government to reconsider the taxation module on the mobile devices as it feels that Smartphone apps for farmers help in higher crop yield, education initiative and financial inclusion in rural sector.

“The growth of the country also lies in the upliftment of its core and in this regard, we can refer it to tier III & IV markets not only metros, tier I & II markets. It is high time for us to think hard and take concrete steps in this direction where certain initiatives and reforms can boost the overall state of the infrastructure”, said Sunil Dutt, Managing Director, Research In Motion India. 

“The telecom sector has achieved a significant momentum in India but still, there is plenty to achieve. We are witnessing a huge surge in the smartphone space allowing consumers as well as enterprises to reap in real benefits of mobility. This is where government can play a vital role by re-considering the taxation module on mobile devices. This would help in the penetration of smartphones and make it affordable reaching out to larger section of the audience”, he added.

He said that smartphone apps for farmers help in higher crop yield, education initiative and financial inclusion in rural sector. This would encourage the corporate fraternity to facilitate better communication outreach and offer seamless connectivity and customized service offering across all corners of our country.
