Knowledge Centers) have been fast spreading across the globe. In the continuous process, there are tens of 
thousands of RKCs are being established by various agencies, to provide shared public access to ICTs for meeting 
educational, social, personal, economic and entertainment needs of the rural community. As most of these 
initiatives are relatively new, there are mixed opinions on the social and economic impacts of RKCs. There is also 
lack of good understanding on the conceptual and theoretical framework for planning and designing of RKCs. The 
authors conducted a study to fill this information gap by assessing selected ICT4D (ICT for development) project 
sites in rural India. Through the systemic analysis of the data and continuous interpretation of the observations, the 
study proposes a framework for planning and designing of RKCs. In this paper, the authors present the study 
results, and discuss the evolution process of RKCs and factors that influences planning and designing of RKCs.
