These kiosks would serve as a common centre for a host of activities like getting licenses, property tax registration, bus pass, railway tickets, passport and so on. CSC is one of the core IT enabled initiatives under the national e-governance plan (NeGP).
The announcement about the launch of the government-to-citizen service was made on Thursday by Spanco Ltd, the company, which bagged the contract for setting-up and running 3689 CSCs in Pune and Konkan region for a period of four years.
Ravi Bhatnagar, senior vice president, Spanco said that the two regions collectively cover ten districts.
“Our 638 centres were started on March 21, five G2C services are live in all the districts under Spanco CSC along with 11 G2C services in Kolhapur,” he said.
CSC is a part of government’s National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) which envisions creating a citizen-centric governance model. CSC Scheme, as approved by the union government, envisions CSCs as the front-end delivery points for government, private and social sector services to citizens, in an integrated manner.
CSCs make all government services accessible to the common man in his locality and ensure efficiency, transparency and reliability of such services at affordable costs to realise the basic needs of the common man.
While the overall program is steered by the government of India, the responsibility of field-level rollout has been vested with the respective state governments through Public-Private-Partnership (PPP), wherein the state government shall appoint a private party to set-up and run these centres for a certain period of time.
Spanco Limited is deploying this project across 10 districts of Maharashtra, which collectively account for 3689 Common Service Centres, named ‘Maha e-Seva Kendra’ as part of the initiative of Department of Information Technology, Government of Maharashtra.
