CSCs to play major role in e-governance: Ravi Shankar Prasad

Hailing the outstanding efforts of the government’s Common Service Centres (CSCs) in delivering digital services in rural areas, Union Minister for IT and law Ravi Shankar Prasad said these centres will play a major role in making of ‘New India’.

“CSCs will now sell Patanjali FMCG and IFFCO (Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Limited) products. It will also offer cash deposit facilities through Digi Pay, an Aadhaar-linked biometric-based payment system,” The Ministry of Electronics & IT said in an official statement.
“With Patanjali and IFFCO agreeing to provide its products through CSCs, scope and viability of these outlets will get a big boost,” said the minister while inaugurating the ‘National Conference on Emerging Opportunities through CSC’.

Around 40,000 CSCs have registered with Patanjali for medical tele-consultations through 800 ayurvedic practitioners.

On the occasion, following new services will be launched:
