The Common Services Centre (CSC) project is a pivotal element of the Digital India initiative, aimed at transforming rural India by providing digital empowerment and promoting a knowledge-based economy. CSCs serve as access points for delivering essential government and public utility services, educational programs, financial services, healthcare, and more, to India’s rural and remote areas. These centres are instrumental in achieving the vision of a digitally and financially inclusive society by enhancing governance, citizen engagement, and empowerment.

The CSC e-Governance Services India Limited, established by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), oversees the implementation of the CSC Scheme. This scheme is vital for providing a centralized collaborative framework for government service delivery, ensuring the viability and sustainability of the project.
