Intel to push digitisation in
indian villages
Technology
giant Intel will be setting up electronic service delivery points across 10
states in India under the title Unnati Kendra.
It
will be a one-stop centre for all e-services, in backward areas of rural India
and these centres will act as a midpoint for all government and private
services like payment of bills, insurance premiums. It will house several
computers, laptops, scanners and other digital devices to impart digital
education to the villagers. The first centre has been opened in Nadimpalle
village in Mahbubnagar at a common service centre.
Intel
South Asia MD and V-P (sales and marketing) Debanji Ghosh said, “We will be
opening centres in 10 states across rural India and provide content and
services sourced from various sectors including banking, insurance etc.” Intel
will provide a device called ‘PC on a Stick’ which turns a TV into a computer
in the backward villages. TS, which runs Digital Telangana Centres, has got an
assurance from insurance provider Future Generali to provide e-insurance
services at these centres, said IT secretary Jayesh Ranjan.
