  • IN: e-Governance plans delayed on lukewarm response from private firms

    Lack of interest from private partners and slow implementation by State governments are forcing the Government to push back its common services centre (CSC) scheme.

    The scheme, under the Government's e-Governance Plan, was supposed to come up by December last year, but is now expected to be completed only by March 2013. The Government has already extended the deadline twice earlier.

  • IN: E-governance@CSC still far off for villages

    After four years and several missed deadlines, the R5,742-crore project to set up 1.26 lakh common service centres (CSCs) across the countryside is plodding along, thanks mainly to lukewarm interest from the private sector and poor access to internet and electricity. Until March 2011, only 94,786 CSCs were set up, or only 75% of the target. What’s worse, even functioning CSCs are anything but successful.

    When the ambitious project was launched, private firms bid so aggressively that there was negative viability gap funding. Bidders offered revenue support for a four-year period that would set-off against revenue generation through e-governance services. However, that has not happened, as Meena Chaturvedi, CEO of Srei Sahaj e-Village explains: “There is an inherent resistance within the government to give government-to-customer (G2C) services as it will bring transparency into the system. The problem is that services are not coming, besides electricity and connectivity issues. In fact, companies did not understand the rural market at all before getting into the scheme.”
