AI-generated practice question — model-generated for extra practice, not a previous-year CBSE board question.
Integration of space technology with communication technology has helped extend STD (Subscriber Trunk Dialling) telephone facilities to villages across India, ensuring 24-hour connectivity at uniform rates. This has bridged the information gap by bringing grassroot-level communication on par with urban areas. Doordarshan and All India Radio further spread information in regional languages to rural populations.

The passage directly states that uniform STD facilities across villages became possible by "integrating the development in space technology with communication technology" — quote this idea. Also mention Doordarshan/All India Radio as mass communication tools reaching rural India. Examiners expect specific examples (STD network, Doordarshan, AIR) and the key phrase about space-communication integration. Avoid vague generalities.
