The inclusion of the 8th CSC at Pernem will further enhance the availability of G2B and G2C services for citizens. The CSC would offer more than 151 services in coming period. Minister for IT Rohan Khaunte, Infotech Corporation of Goa Ltd (ITG) Chairman and MLA Chandrakant Shetye and Pernem MLA Praveen Arlekar were also present
Sawant said that the CSC would undoubtedly help to bridge the gap between the government and the citizens by providing accessible and reliable services. So far, more than 5.5 lakh services have been delivered to the public through this platform for 35 unique departmental services, including revenue services, registration/renewals services of the Labour Department, etc and in the future many more useful services would be added.
In addition to the new CSC, and in furtherance of the Azadi Ka Amrit Mohatsav, the Department of ITE&C would create 75 Wi-Fi hotspots in villages. This will have a significant positive impact on the local communities. These hotspots shall enable access to information, education, and healthcare resources, as well as facilitate economic development by connecting locals to online marketplaces and e-commerce platforms, he said.
As a part of this initiative, the government has also unveiled free WiFi hotspots in six constituencies covering 10 locations.
