By: Tech2.com News Staff   |   Nov 14, 2007
Reliance Communications has announced a nation-wide, rural mobile applications development contest that aims to acknowledge and encourage young talent.

The focus this year is on rural applications for transportation, m-commerce, health care services, governance, education, information and location based services that cater to the needs of rural population.

The award winning applications will be deployed on the Reliance Mobile World platform and interactive Voice services portal. Applications for WAP, Java, Reliance Java, Brew, Brew Lite, Symbian and VoxML environments can be submitted.

Mahesh Prasad, President, Applications, Solutions and Content Group, said, "RCOM has always been at the forefront of developing applications suitable to customers across segments and regions. As we embark on our objective of covering over 600,000 villages by March 2008, there will be a huge market for rural applications. This initiative of ours will help us create a databank of exciting applications relevant in the rural context. Our Reliance Developer Program is a massive talent hunt of its kind, the fruits of which the country will reap in the years to come."

The contest is open till February 15, 2008 and those interested can register on the Reliance Developer Program website www.dadp.com before December 25, 2007 and can send in their entries to rdp.contest@relianceada.com. The entries will be under two broad categories – "Students" and "General". A panel of judges representing the telecom industry, academia and IT associations will be judge the applications on the basis of user interface, innovativeness, functionality and business potential.

The winners of the contest will be announced at an award ceremony that will be held in March 2008 by RCOM.
