Government e-governance service CSC (Common Service Center) is planning to recruit 20 lakh, digital cadets. This recruitment process will be completed this year. There are about 4 lakh CSC centers across the country which provide a variety of government and enterprise services in small towns and rural areas.
Dinesh Tyagi, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of CSC e-Governance Services Limited, said that the number of shared service centers across the country is four lakh. These centers help provide many government and undertaking services in small towns and rural areas.
Tyagi said that five digital cadets will be appointed in each CSC. These cadets will provide various services to the people at their doorstep. Apart from this, they will also act as delivery agents for rural e-stores and farmer e-mart and will help CSC to conduct various surveys for government and other agencies.
He said that the registration of eligible cadets for these posts is expected to be completed in a month. After that, the process of their appointment and verification will be started.

In addition, they will deliver other B2C services and CSCs.
Tyagi said that these cadets will help the people in acquiring various benefits announced by the government during Covid-19.
