The Department of Electronics and Information Technology
(DeitY), Ministry of Communications & Information Technology, launched the
‘E-Inclusion: IT Training for Rural SC/ ST/ Women Beneficiaries’ Project Dec 24
2013.
The project will help
people to participate in the knowledge based activities and access the
financial, social and government services by the use of internet.
Kapil Sibal, Minister
of Communication & IT, formally launched the Project by releasing the
Handbook titled ‘E-Literacy: Towards
Empowering Rural India’ containing profiles of 50 beneficiaries who
have successfully undertaken the basic IT training programme under the
E-Inclusion project. Kapil Sibal mentioned that Digital Literacy is an enabler
for empowering communities and providing them real freedom. The Government
initiative for making one person in every family e-Literate is a step in that
direction
The Project is part of the
Government of India’s initiative under the National e-Governance Plan (NeGP)
for creating a transparent and accountable governance model for enabling
service delivery at the doorstep of citizens. To achieve this mission, DeitY
has setup over 100,000 Common Services Centers (CSCs) on a
Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) model. CSCs are the front-end delivery points
for government, private and social sector services to the citizens of
India.
