The government is working on a big project called BharatNet.

Its job is to bring the internet to villages in India.

A leader named Jyotiraditya M. Scindia told everyone about the project's progress.

He said 10,833 village councils in Telangana are now connected to the broadband network.

Many villages in Telangana already have mobile phone service.

About 9,929 of those villages can use 4G or 5G internet on their phones.

The government is also building new mobile towers so even more villages can be covered.

The upgraded program will also create new internet connections for more village councils.

Post offices in Telangana are also getting new computers and mobile devices.

This helps people do banking, send money through UPI, and use government services closer to home.
