MISSION and OBJECTIVE of CSC

SCHEME

CSCs   are   envisioned   as   the front-end   delivery   points   for government,      private      and social     sector     services     to citizens     of     India.     Further, CSCs   will   deliver   services   in the       areas       of       telecom, agriculture,                   health, education,   entertainment,   FMCG   products,   banking and   financial   services,   utility   payments,   etc.   Each CSC   is   expected   to   serve   a   cluster   of   6-7   villages, thereby   covering   more   than   six   lakh   villages   across India.   Under   the   project,   the   idea   is   to   facilitate   a platform   that   will   enable   government,   private   and social   sector   organizations   to   integrate   their   social and    commercial    goals    and    take    the    benefits    of information   and   communication   tools   (ICT)   to   the remotest corners of the country.

ROLE of VILLAGE LEVEL

ENTREPRENEUR (VLE)

The VLE is the key to the success of the CSC operations. While content and services are important, it is the VLE's entrepreneurial ability that would ensure CSC sustainability. A good VLE would not be one who has financial muscle only, but somebody who has entrepreneurial traits, strong social commitment as well as respect within the community. The quality of service at the CSCs would be as effective as the quality of VLEs running them. Selection and proper training of the VLE therefore would play a vital role in making the CSC success.
