A Common Service Centre (CSC) is a physical facility or kiosk that provides various government and non-government services to people living in rural and remote areas of India. These centres are part of the Digital India initiative launched by the Government of India to bridge the digital divide between urban and rural India and provide e-governance services to citizens.
CSCs are operated by Village Level Entrepreneurs (VLEs) who are trained and authorized by the government to deliver services like Aadhaar enrolment, PAN card application, passport services, banking services, insurance services, utility bill payments, and many other services. These centres also provide access to various digital resources like computers, internet, and digital content.
The CSC scheme is one of the largest and most ambitious projects undertaken by the Government of India to empower rural India and enable access to digital services. It has been successful in bringing digital services to the doorstep of people in remote and rural areas and has helped in bridging the digital divide.
