## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR ELECTRONICS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (SHRI P. P. CHAUDHARY)

- (a): As  per  Census  of  India  2011,  the  rural-urban  distribution  is 68.86% and  31.14% respectively.  The  State/UT-wise  percentage  of  rural  areas  across  the  country  is  given  in Annexure-I. For more details -http://www.dataforall.org/dashboard/censusinfoindia\_pca/.
- (b) to (d) : The  steps  taken  by  the  Government  in  the  last  three  years  to  connect  these rural areas with IT are as follows:
- (i). BharatNet :  Provisioning of internet connectivity at rural areas is under the purview of Department of Telecommunications (DoT), under Ministry of Communications. DoT is implementing National Optical Fibre Network (NOFN) project, renamed as BharatNet. It has been envisaged to provide 100 Mbps broadband connectivity to  all Gram Panchayats (approx. 2.50 lakhs) in the country by using an optimal mix of underground fibre, fibre over power lines, radio and satellite media. The project is planned to be implemented in three phases: Under first phase of the project, 1 lakh Gram Panchayats (GPs) are to be connected by laying underground Optical Fibre Cable(OFC) which is under implementation  and    expected  to  be  completed  by  November  2017.  Under  Phase-II, connectivity will be provided to remaining 1.5 lakh GPs in the country using an optimal mix of underground fibre, fibre over power lines, radio and satellite media, and provision of last mile access to the network and broadband service provisioning (through Wi-Fi or

any other broadband access technologies) in all 2,50,000 GPs in the country, which is targeted to be completed by March, 2019. Under third phase, a state-of-the-art network with ring architecture, is planned to be completed by 2023. Till date, Rs. 10,286 Crore have been disbursed from Universal Service Obligation Fund (USOF).

Under  the  BharatNet  project  (Phase-I  Target  of  1,24,990  GPs),  2.39  Lakh  KMs  of pipeline  has  been  laid  in  1,06,508  GPs,  2.21  lakhs  KMs  of  optical  fibre  pulled  for 1,00,253 GPs and 24,154 GPs have been connected so far till 16.07.2017.  The detailed status  of  BharatNet  project  under  Phase-I  including  State  of  Maharashtra  is  given  in Annexure-II .

- (ii). National  Information  Infrastructure  (NII): A pilot  project  on  National  Information Infrastructure (NII) for a period of one year of operation was initiated by MeitY in July, 2015  for  one  district  each  in  the  States  of  Nagaland,  Karnataka,  Kerala,  Gujarat, Uttarakhand and UT  of Chandigarh and Puducherry to integrate various ICT infrastructure  namely  State  Data  Centres  (SDCs), State  Wide Area Network (SWAN), National Knowledge Network (NKN), National Informatics Centre Network (NICNET), State  Service  Delivery  Gateway  (SSDG)  including  National  Optical  Fibre  Network (NOFN)/BharatNet created in these States. The objective is  to  provide  connectivity  to government  offices  upto  Gram  Panchayat  (GP)  level  (1059  GPs).  The  project  was approved with an outlay of Rs. 45.84 crore and fund released till date is 45.84 crore.
- (iii). Common Services  Centre  (CSC): Common  Services  Centres  (CSCs  now  known  as Digital Seva Kendras) are internet enabled centres operated by local entrepreneur, called Village  Level  Entrepreneurs  (VLEs)  and  provide  eServices  to  rural  citizens.  CSCs deliver various Government-to-Citizen (G2C), Business-to-Citizen (B2C)  services, Aadhaar  services,  financial  inclusion  services,  Educational  services  including  Digital Literacy, Financial Literacy, Legal Literacy, Skill development services etc. to citizens. For this, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Govt. of India has  approved  CSC  2.0  project  under  Digital  India  in  August,  2015  which  envisages setting up of at least one Common Services Centre (CSC) at each Gram Panchayat (GP) level to cover all the 2.5 lakhs GPs across the country, including the 27,920 GPs in the State of Maharashtra. The project is to be completed within 4 years by August, 2019. M/s CSC e-Governance Services India Limited (a CSC Special Purpose Vehicle, CSC -SPV) is  implementing  the  project  with  active  support  and  participation  by  the  respective State/Union  Territory  (UT)  Nodal  Department(s),  State  Designated  Agencies  (SDAs), and,  the  District  e-Governance  Society  (DeGS).  The  project  was  approved  at  a  total estimated outlay of Rs. 475.11 Cr and expenditure till date is Rs. 145.00 crore. CSC 2.0 project has no provision for revenue support in the way of viability gap funding. Funds are released to the central implementing agency CSC -SPV.

Till June, 2017 , 3,00,774 Common Services Centres (CSCs) have been registered across the country, among which, 1,96,922 are at Gram Panchayat (GP) level covering around 1,66,537  GPs  out  of  the  target  of  2.5  lakhs  of  GPs.  Out  of  the  total  registered  CSCs, 2,61,071 CSCs are functioning and transacting for delivery of eServices; among which, 1,63,226  CSCs  are  functioning  at  GP  level.  The  State/UT-wise  CSC  roll  out  status  is given in Annexure-III.

- (iv). Wi-Fi Choupal: The CSC Special Purpose Vehicle (CSC -SPV) launched an initiative on  pilot  basis  called-  Wi-Fi  Choupal  for  5,000  Gram  Panchayat  (GP),  a  rural  Wi-Fi

service  initiative  in  financial  year  2016-17  at  the  behest  of  Telecom  Commission, Department  of  Telecommunications,  Govt.  of  India.  Wi-Fi  Choupal  project  has  been launched to provide Wi-Fi Internet access in rural India through CSCs. As on date, Wi-Fi Infrastructure  has  been  deployed  in  2500  GPs  across  9  States  (Uttarakhand,  Uttar Pradesh,  Madhya  Pradesh,  Chhattisgarh,  Haryana,  Jharkhand,  Bihar,  Maharashtra,  and Karnataka) and 2 Union Territories (Chandigarh and Puducherry). The activation of the internet service has been done at 650 GP locations.
