Abstract

Information and communication Technologies have brought a revolution in the way information is produced, processed, stored and distributed. So, in this era of continuous development in digital technologies people should be digitally literate to perform different activities through digital mode. The present study was conducted on 120 members of Jorhat and Golaghat District of Assam to assess the practice level of the respondents on digital activities. It was found that majority (55.00%) of the respondents had low level of practice on digital activities, while 26.67 per cent had medium level of practice and only 18.33 per cent of the respondents had high level of practice on digital activities. The practice of different digital activities by male respondents was found to be more as compared to the female respondents.
