CSC-HARYANA E-SEVA SCHEME

Haryana Government is pleased to notify this scheme on 08-01-2014 for establishment and roll-out the CSCs under the name and style of “Haryana e-Seva” throughout the state of Haryana following a Private Entrepreneurship Business Model, in line with the approach envisaged by Government of India.

A convergence model has been envisaged wherein the CSC is authorized to transact businesses and deliver a rich basket of relevant services to the citizens from multiple government departments/ enterprises/ agencies besides the private and financial sectors. This convergence is sought to be achieved by clubbing the following categories of services:-

G2C Services: like Birth certificate, death certificate, Nakal of Jamabandi, Caste certificate, etc.

The IT Department has developed an in-house application platform known as the “Integrated Village Information & Service Delivery System” (referred to as IVISS hereinafter), which is an enabling platform to bring about such technology and operational convergence, with a facility to accept all government and non-Government payments at the CSC.

B2C Services

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been entered with CSC-SPV India Limited, a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) formed under the Department of Information Technology, Government of India, for providing B2C Services like mobile phone bills and top-ups, PAN card, Voter card for delivery through the CSCs.

Service provider to Government Departments, Boards & Corporations

A service provider to requirements of various Departments and Agencies of Haryana Government would be a cost effective and optimal mode of implementation of their requirements while enhancing the revenue potential of the CSC.

Authorized Learning Centre of HKCL

The state of Haryana has promoted the establishment of Haryana Knowledge Corporation Limited (HKCL) and would be establishing and operating its ‘Authorised Learning Centres’ (ALC) as private business initiatives, the VLE shall have the option of acting as an ALC of the HKCL and supplement its revenue base

Benefits of the Convergence Model

Establishment of CSCs in the state would provide direct gainful self employment for more than 5,000 entrepreneurs/ skilled IT persons in the state in this process. The IT literacy courses run through the ‘Authorised Learning Centres’ of the HKCL would further enhance employability of the youth.
