The Department of Information Technology (DIT), Government of India proposes to facilitate the establishment of a net work of more than 100,000 internet enabled Information and Communication Technology (ICT) access points termed as Common Services Centers (CSC). The CSCs are meant to provide high quality and cost effective video, voice and data content, in the areas of E-Governance, Education, Health, Tele-medicine, Entertainment and other government and private services.
The goal of the CSC Project is to empower the rural community and to bring about social change through modern technologies. With a large and heterogeneous geographical area, the private and civil society sectors are expected to play an active role in development and implementation of the CSC Project in supplementing the Governments' efforts to realize its vision for the project.
