eTUKTUK, TAKING INFORMATION DOWN THE BUMPY DIRT-ROAD IN SRI LANKA
Up in the hills of Kothmale, about 25 kilometres southwest of Kandy in the central highlands of Sri Lanka, a strange hybrid vehicle can be seen sputtering along the dirt tracks of Kothmale’s villages. At first glance, it is an autorickshaw or tuktuk, a familiar sight on the roads of South Asia and as common on the streets of Sri Lanka as sarongs.
But this is no ordinary three-wheeler. This is the eTukTuk, the world’s first radio-station and multimedia centre on three wheels.
