Common Service Centre

COMMON SERVICE CENTER (CSC)

National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) launched in 2006 consists of 44 Mission Mode Projects (MMPs). The CSC is one of the 44MMPs which deliver all the e-services at the grass root level with the ultimate objective to bring public services closer to the citizens.

Initially the Common Service Centre scheme was approved by the Government of India in September 2006 under NeGP. The scheme aimed for the establishment of one lakhs ICT enabled front-end service delivery outlets, equitably spread across rural India in the ratio of one CSC per six villages, thereby covering all six lakhs villages. CSCs were envisaged as internet enabled centers allowing access of government, private and social services to citizen.

The objective of the CSC is to provide e-services in the locality of citizens, by creating the physical service delivery infrastructure for accessing various e-services. The CSC is envisaged to be a Change Instrument that would provide a structured platform for socially-inclusive community participation for development. An individual or organization functioning as a Change Agent, would run the CSC. It is the community participation and collective action, not ICT alone, which lead to sustainable socio-economic development and long-term rural prosperity.

About CSC 2.0

Digital India is a highly ambitious programme to prepare India for a knowledge future with a focus on three areas:

  • Infrastructure as a utility to Every Citizen
  • Governance & Services on Demand
  • Digital Empowerment of Citizens

The CSC 2.0 envisages establishment of at least 2.5 lakhs CSCs covering all Gram Panchayats of the country over a period of four years. This would also include strengthening and integrating the existing one lakhs CSCs already operational under the existing scheme and making operational an additional 1.5 CSCs at Gram Panchayat (Preferably at GP premises). It is envisaged as a services/transaction oriented model with a large bouquet of services made available at the CSCs for delivering to the citizens.
