He said the state government plans to provide the citizens access to ‘Access to Common Service Centre’ (CSC) in their villages, followed by which 2,500 CSCs shall be set up across the state.
“Today, we are enabling the CSCs to deliver 20 e-services in the fields of revenue and health as well as other B2C (business to consumer) services through CSC-SPV, a Government of India entity. Under this, a citizen can file application for various kinds of certificates.
