Digital India gave India a new identity globally, CSC the real architect of the digital revolution: Finance Minister O P Choudhary CSC's '17 Years of Progress with Purpose' program included, operators who performed excellently were honored with certificates Raipur, Finance Minister Shri O P Choudhary attended the '17 Years of Progress with Purpose' program organized by Common Service Center (CSC) in Raipur today. On this occasion he presented certificates of appreciation to CSC operators who performed excellently and praised their contribution in taking the Digital India campaign to every citizen. Addressing the program, Minister Choudhary said that under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Digital India campaign has given India a new identity on the world stage. Today India is among the leading countries in digital transactions and technology benefits are reaching the last person of society. He congratulated the state's 38 thousand registered CSC operators and their entire teams, stating that their tireless efforts are making government services simple, transparent and timely for three crore citizens of Chhattisgarh. He said that CSC has truly realized a 'single window system', where multiple services including revenue, labor, electricity, Ayushman, banking and others are available to common citizens at one place. Minister Choudhary said that in 2015, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the Digital India mission, many questioned its success. But today India has become an example for the world in digital payments, UPI and public service delivery. The reach of digital services to villages has helped eliminate the digital divide. He said that developed India is not only about increasing GDP, but the benefits of development must reach the last person of society. With this thinking, Prime Minister Modi has furthered the spirit of ending poverty. Inspired by this, the Chhattisgarh government under Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai has prepared 'Chhattisgarh Anjor Vision-2047' to achieve the goal of a developed Chhattisgarh along with a developed India. The Finance Minister said that through Jan Dhan, Aadhaar and Mobile (JAM), the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system has effectively curbed corruption. Today the amounts of schemes such as Mahatari Vandana Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana and many others are reaching beneficiaries directly in their accounts without any deductions. The role of CSC is extremely important in this. He said that the Atal Digital Service Centres launched by the state government are becoming a strong medium for expanding digital services in rural areas. In the future, the government will work to link more and more government services to CSC and develop necessary infrastructure in gram panchayats through the 'G-Ram-G' campaign of a developed India. Minister Choudhary said that the government is committed to strengthening the CSC network further. Efforts will be made to connect new services of various departments to CSC and provide better infrastructure in rural areas so that citizens can get more facilities at a single place. At the end of the program, the Finance Minister congratulated the entire CSC team for the successful event and said that the state government will always stand with CSC operators and provide all possible cooperation to make public service more effective.
