Srinagar – To spread awareness about e-governance at village level, THE Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DEIT) is undertaking an outreach campaign through Common Services Centres (CSCs) across the country.
The campaign will be flagged-off ON Friday by Sachin Pilot, Minister of State for Communication and Information Technology, along with Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah from the Ganderbal district mini secretariat near Srinagar.
The campaign will travel through villages in five districts of the state, and will halt at 115 CSC- Khidmat Centers.
A fully furbished exhibition van will provide opportunity for hands on experience about various public services available through these Centers. Other interesting elements of the exhibition are street plays, audio-visual experience and village level entrepreneur assistance in educating people and about convenience and transparency of services available through CSCs.
During Phase-I, the campaign will be rolled out in 11 states – Jammu and Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Bihar, Goa, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh – covering 1343 CSCs.
Common service centers are providing various Government services to people like Certificates (Birth, Death, Domicile, caste, Income etc) MNREGA payments, DOEACC’s C++ courses and non-Government services like opening an account in bank, withdrawal/ deposit, loan document, online railways and airline ticket booking, DTH recharge, etc.
Common service centers are part of National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) which is a major initiative of the Government of India for ushering in e-Governance for improving the quality of basic governance, on a massive scale in areas of concern to the common man.
The vision of NeGP is to “Make all Government services accessible to the common man in his locality, through common service delivery outlets and ensure efficiency, transparency and reliability of such services at affordable costs to realize the basic needs of the common man”.
The NeGP aims at improving delivery of Government services to citizens and businesses and consists of 31 Mission Mode Projects and 8 Components supporting delivery of nearly 5 Crore e-transactions or e-Services every month across the country. Agencies
