Needed some guidance on my Thesis on ICT for development

Hello ,

My name is John Mathew from Rajkot,India, basically into academics but currently working for an Exports company.

I am currently doing my PhD from Saurashtra University. my topic is "The scope of usage of ICT for development of emerging economies like India (with specific refernce to Gujarat)". I have chosen this topic because of my interest in this area and passion for the same.

I have been doing my PhD in ICT for development but i am not able to get much guidance here from resources as to what can be examples of Variables (dependant and independant) in this area from a PhD point of view.

I did a small reserach but it wasnt enough to be included in the thesis.

I realy appreciate the quality of work done by you in the area of ICT.

I would also like to know if there are research papers available which i can use for reference material containing hypothesis testing in this area.

I would be highly greatful to you in case you can provide me some guidance on the above said issue.

Hoping for a favourable reply soon,
