"So, these guidelines I think are going to play a very crucial role in sensitizing the state governments, the bureaucracy, the lower communities and the ones who are most vulnerable, are the ones who have least resources, who are the least empowered, who live in poor areas. Those are the people; they have to be the focus of our attention," he added.
Pilot further emphasized that these guidelines are important because India has now a tremendous infrastructure of Information Technology.
"So, Information Technology whether it's through satellite or through optical fiber, through mobile phones, through Internet, through broadband. All of that information I think needs to be given out in local languages so that communities and people, who live in far off areas, are able to benefit," said Pilot.
"In relief, rescue operations also a foolproof guideline that can sustain communication network through the disaster, I think, is very important," he added.
