Subject: - Requirement of Internet Connectivity for unconnected blocks-regarding. Sir/ Madam, Ministry has identified 985 blocks which are having connectivity issues for maintained the programme database (NREGASoft). The list includes blocks shared by the states and the location where connectivity speed was less than 256 Kbps as reported through the online web survey. In order to resolve connectivity issue the matter was discussed with DEITY ( [Common Services Centerj CSC -SPV) and the data was shared to find out if any existing functional CSC infrastructure is already present at these blocks or in the GPs attached with these Blocks. 2. The above analysis is being shared with you with the following advisory:a) Wherever functional CSCs are present in Block headquarters, the POs should use the CSC infrastructure for doing the data entry on a real time in all places where CS Cs are existing below block level, the GPs can also make use of CSCs for doing the required data entry at the GP level, as this will improve the MIS data entry substantially. b) Where there is already a broadband facility, States can use the CSC centres for the data entry in case of any difficulty in getting access to the existing internet connectivity in the Block computer centres/ GPs. c) For above services (2.a, 2.b and 2.c) the rates will be fixed by the State Governments in consultation with the CSC vendors. d) Where ever CSC is shown as present, but not functional, states can take up thematter with their Secretary (IT) regarding restoring connectivity in these CSCs. , "-. e) In Blocks where there is no functional CSC, they will be considered for VSAT connectivity by this Ministry through NIC.
