Mr Chandrasekhar, said India is a unique country where we have used technology for digital inclusion and CSCs role in this is of paramount importance. PMGDISHA and CSCs have emerged as the enablers for digital literacy and they are important in realizing the vision outlined by  the Prime Minister to transform lives of common people and to bridge the gap between government and citizens through digital technology.
