Launching the kiosks on-line at the state secretariat, Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee said that these would help deliver the shared visions of Microsoft and the state government to employ the benefits of information communication technology to catalyse progress and access to information, education, e-governance, telemedicine services amongst others within the rural hinterland.
Three more models would soon be made operational in the same model by Microsoft, he said.
Stating that an in-depth training for operation of the kiosks has already been completed by Microsoft, he said that three women SHG members would be deployed per kiosk in both the districts.
