The CSC is a government-run one-stop shop that offers Web-enabled e-governance services in rural areas, including various application forms, certificates, and utility payments such as electricity, telephone, and water bills.
The Communications and IT Minister A. Raja says that almost all CSCs will be set up in the public-private partnership mode and about 10,000 centers will be set up before March this year. Raja also added that Rs. 17.87 billion will be used for the state wide area network (SWAN) project.
