In his inaugural address, Union Minister Sh.

He highlighted the importance of providing vital information such as weather and agriculture updates through CSCs to benefit rural communities.
Promoting Rural Enterprise and Digital Inclusion
Sh. S. Krishnan, Secretary, MeitY, acknowledged the pivotal role of CSCs in promoting rural enterprise and digital inclusion. He stressed that CSCs are crucial for bridging the last mile gap and are integral to the success of government schemes. "Breaking the digital divide is essential, and CSC is doing stellar work in digital education and cyber learning, teaching people the basics of cyber hygiene and promoting cyber safety," he said.
