Banarasi Sarees are world famous for their magnificent design and finishing. The paper discusses the problem of digital divide among the members of weaver community of Banaras. It evaluates the reasons of the digital divide and analyzes their information need. It draws a framework of an information system which helps weavers to get their required information. The aim of this paper is to propose a model of a community information system for weavers for bridging the digital divide.Keywords
