CSC BECOMES PLATFORM FOR DIGITAL EMPOWERMENT IN KARMA PANCHAYAT, JHARKHAND

VLE Manish set up his CSC in Hutup village, Karma panchayat (Jharkhand) in year 2018. It was a big challenge to make the CSC operational in this remote location of the State. Initially he faced tough circumstances because of his financial condition. Challenges in network connectivity, power availability were among other issues. However he was determined; he wanted to ensure that he smoothly runs the CSC.

And his friend and family support added to that. He feels fortunate to have a family who supported him in the entire journey. They developed better understanding and encouraged him to fight all the odds.

VLE says, “Running the CSC center made me very strong- morally, socially and financially.” His confidence improved a lot as he felt that he was part of a big change that CSC initiative is in the remote areas of Jharkhand state. He has done tremendous work under PMGDISHA in his GP.

VLE Manish started his center with very small setup, however after recognizing the opportunity to grow socially and financially with CSC platform, he focused on providing maximum number of services through her CSC center.
