The bus which has already travelled 120 towns across south India, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh and would tour Patna, Gaya, Nalanda, Ara, Saran, Darbhanga, Bhagalpur, Katihar and Purnia districts during its 40 days stay in the state.

Ranjan, who was speaking at a function on arrival of the bus here during the day, said ''Internet has positively touched the lives of more than 56 lakh people and around 16 lakh people went online after coming in contact with the bus.''

'We hope to create awareness about internet and believe that continuous efforts will enable the common man to utilise the power of knowledge and information for economic prosperity.
