Panaji : The Goa Information Technology Development Corporation (GITDC) intends to set up new citizen service centres (CSC) in Dharbandora, Sanquelim, Panaji and Bicholim.

A delegation of CSC and VLE representatives met chief minister Pramod Sawant at Ravindra Bhavan, Sanquelim on Sunday to draw his attention to concerns such as delayed incentives, loan scheme implementation, pending bills, and integration into Goa's digital services. Sawant assured them that he would resolve their concerns. The CSCs also provide status updates of the application via SMS to the applicant. The GITDC wants the new CSCs to be ready within four months once the contractor is appointed. The contractor for the project will have to provide a defect liability period for three years after the date of completion According to the GEL, govt currently has CSCs at Mapusa bus stand, Pernem, Honda KTC bus stand, at Margao's Matanhy Saldanha Administrative Complex, Canacona KTC bus stand, Quepem govt office complex, Sanguem govt office building and Ponda KTC bus stand.

10 Lakh Indians To Receive Free AI Training, Focus On Village Entrepreneurs
New Delhi: At least 10 lakh citizens will receive free training in artificial intelligence (AI) thanks to Common Service Centres (CSCs) which falls under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY). According to IT and Electronics Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, CSC has reached nearly 90 per cent of villages in the country and "If there is any medium capable of reaching every village, it is CSC." "The village level entrepreneurs (VLEs) across the country have set a remarkable example by delivering the benefits of Digital India to every citizen," the minister said. "When the world questioned how a tea seller or a vegetable vendor could use digital payments, today that dream has come true - UPI payments have surpassed Visa transactions. This is the strength of 1.4 billion Indians," he mentioned. Mr Vaishnaw cited inspiring stories of VLE Manjulata from Mayurbhanj district and VLE Rose Angelina from Meghalaya. Despite challenging circumstances, both women acquired digital skills and empowered their communities. "Amid the scenic hills and remote villages of East West Khasi Hills in Meghalaya, woman VLE Rose Angelina M. Kharsyntiew has scripted a digital revolution. Through her centre in the Mairang area, she is not only delivering services but also setting an example of transformation, empowerment, and community service," Mr Vaishnaw added. The minister also urged all VLEs to start offering IRCTC services. Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology, Jitin Prasada, underscored the role of CSCs in bridging the digital divide "The resolve to extend the benefits of Digital India to the last mile of society is being carried forward with the help of our VLE brothers and sisters. Ten years ago, when we began the Digital India initiative, the Prime Minister had the vision to lay the foundation for a developed India," he noted. He shared that in 2014, there were only 83,000 CSC centres, whereas today, their number has grown to nearly 5.50 lakh. Prasada emphasised the integration of Primary Agriculture Credit Societies (PACS) with CSCs and acknowledged over 74,000 women VLEs who are setting new benchmarks in empowerment. "We are now in the era of Artificial Intelligence, and it is advancing rapidly. With time, we must use new technologies to bring positive change in people's lives and empower them," he said.
