Through this collaboration, Maharashtra hopes to enhance digital learning opportunities for students in rural and tribal schools, enable telemedicine services in far-flung healthcare centers, and improve emergency communication networks in disaster-prone areas.
This collaboration supports Digital Maharashtra mission and aligns with initiatives in Electric Vehicle roll outs, coastal monitoring, and disaster resilience.
The project is also expected to accelerate the rollout of e-governance and digital infrastructure programs across the state, fostering economic and social development.
Starlink operates the world’s largest satellite constellation in low-earth orbit (LEO), providing broadband internet capable of supporting streaming, video conferencing, online education, and telemedicine even in difficult terrains where fibre optic cables are often unviable.
