\"digital\"<\/a>\u201cThe \u2018Digital Telangana Centres\u2019 or \u2018e-Panchayats\u2019 programme of the state government, which offers e-governance facilities to villagers, was launched on October 2 in Nalgonda district and it currently runs at 100 panchayats. We plan to scale it up to 1,100 by January,\u201d Telangana Information Technology (IT) Secretary Jayesh Ranjan told PTI.
\nThe uniqueness of these Centres is that it will be managed by women, who are trained in using computers and software to operate the e-Panchayat programme. \u201cEach Centre will have PCs, laptops, printers, scanners and large-size LED TVs. We are spending Rs 2.5 lakh for each Centre,\u201d he said.
\n\u201cWe have 8,750 gram panchayats (GPs) in Telangana. Our goal is to start one \u2018Digital Telangana Centre\u2019 in each panchayat. Each Centre will be managed by a local woman, who will be called the Village Level Entrepreneur (VLE), which is something unique,\u201d Ranjan said.
\n\u201cWe have already trained 100 women and they have been working at 100 Centres since last month. We are assessing their performance and we will start imparting training to another 1,000 women in the next one-to-two months, who will manage the new Centres at 1,000 panchayats, proposed to be launched by January,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Each e-Panchayat will have these \u2018Digital Telangana Centres\u2019 where all kinds of facilities\/services will be made available digitally i.e. electronically at the doorsteps of rural people, he said. Citizen services, government services, payments of social welfare pensions and wages for rural employment, will be made available through these Centres, which will also be converted into banking and insurance centres, he said.
\n\u201cMany banks which have branches in our state have agreed to convert these Centres also as their rural branches which will facilitate the account holders in the villages, who can get their banking work done at these Centres. Banks like State Bank of Hyderabad, Andhra Bank, Telangana Gramin Bank have already extended their services at the 100 Centres,\u201d he said.
\nSimilarly, insurance companies are also coming forward to convert these Centres into insurance centres. \u201cThe first proposal has come from insurance firm Future Generali to link their insurance services,\u201d Ranjan said. The IT Secretary further said that the government also has plans to expand the scope of services offered by these Centres to include training for farmers and coaching for students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
