Lok Sabha
In its first report to the Union Agriculture Minister submitted on December 29, 2004, the National Commission on Farmers, has made several recommendations, including setting up Rural/Village Knowledge Centres to harness Information Communication Technology and other tools of communication for village and rural development. In the Seventh Round Table of Ministers in charge of Panchayati Raj held in Jaipur from 17-19 December, 2004, it was resolved that the Community Service Centres being rolled out by the Ministry of Information Technology at the Centre may be located in Panchayat offices so that Panchayat services can also be delivered through the Common Service Centres. The number and location of the Centres, the extent to which these Centres will be helpful to the village Panchayats and the financing implication of establishing them will be known only after the Commission’s recommendations have been processed and passed by Government.
This information was given in Lok Sabha today by the Minister of Panchayati Raj Shri Mani Shankar Aiyar in a written reply.
