Abstract: This research introduces the Village Information System (VIS), a pilot initiative launched in 2006 in Andhra Pradesh, India, to bridge the rural-urban digital divide and foster sustainable development. Implemented across 19 kiosks in the climatically diverse districts of Nellore (wet, tropical) and Kadapa (dry, semi-arid), the VIS project aimed to provide digital access to critical information for rural communities. A core innovation involved integrating calibrated Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) at these sites, which continuously collect high-resolution meteorological data.
