Internet Access in Dhawa (Ghazipur)

I will be traveling to India (from uk) towards the end of November in order to help a school in Dhawa (Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh) with their computers.
Whilst I am out there I will need some internet access in order to talk to my family (e-mail/msn).
I cannot find out what sort of mobile coverage is available in Ghazipur so im hoping someone on here can tell me.
Ideally im looking for a Mobile broadband usb dongle + indian SIM card. Ive read that 3G is not so wide spread and should expect a slower GSM connection which should be fine for what I need.
I will be traveling through delhi (1 night) so I could buy anything I need here.
Where should I buy the dongle? Uk? delhi? ghazipur?
Which mobile network would be most appropriate?
What prices can I expect to pay for internet access? (likely 1-2hours per night, 14nights)
What are wireless hotspots like in ghazipur?

On another point.
The school in Dhawa want to attempt to video conference with our pilot school in the uk. At the moment im having trouble getting information from the school so thought it would be best to ask here.
What are broadband connections like in ghazipur?
Is it likely the school will have nothing for internet? Mobile? Wired cable/dsl?
If they have broadband, what sort of speeds is it likely to give?

Thanks in advance

As per the BSNL (State Telephony company) Broadband is being made available in the villages of Eastern UP at economical rates.

Details here

So I think you should have access to Broadband. Else you may use Airtel / Tata Indicom USB Dongle.....

Don't buy at New Delhi as, UP (EAST) is a separate telecom area than Delhi and you'll be paying Roaming Charges........
