Gram Sampark - Rural Knowledge Centre

Continuing its commitment to bridge the digital divide, especially amongst the rural population, 17 e-Gram Sampark have been planned across all the villages of Union Territory of Chandigarh. The citizens will be able to use all the 15 G2C services, which are presently available to these Sampark Centres situated in the urban areas. Since these Centres would be providing the rural citizens an opportunity to have an access to the huge amount of information, using broadband connectivity, these Centres will emerge as Rural Knowledge Centres for the rural population, especially the disadvantaged. Information services in these Centres would be provided free of cost, on the lines of Jan Sampark Services. These Centres would also help the rural citizens in registering their grievances, apart from helping them fill their applications under RTI.

With the help of Department of Rural Development, 17 locations have been identified for setting up of these Centres. These include, Panchayat buildings lying unused and the Gram Sampark Centres will be set up after reconditioning these buildings. These Centres will also have safe drinking water facility, clean toilets, etc., as are available at the Sampark Centres and Jan Sampark Centres in the urban areas. Palsora, Maloya, Dadu Majra, Kajheri, Kishangarh, Mauli Jagran, Daria, Makhan Majra / Raipur Kalan, Raipur Khurd, Behlana, Hallo Majra, Khuda Jassu, Khuda Lahora, Khuda Alisher, Sarangpur, Kaimbwala & Dhanas villages would be covered under this initiative.

m-Sampark

This initiative enables the citizens to access information on a whole range of e-Sampark services from their mobile phones by simply sending an SMS. To avail the m-Sampark services, all that a citizen required to do is to SMS "SMENU" to 8888. A menu of services available will be sent back to him via an SMS, from where he/she can get the required information. The basic idea behind launching the m- Sampark service was to ensure that the citizen can get information about e-Sampark services from all possible information access mechanisms. With the wide reach of mobile phones, it is really convenient for the citizens to know of the different services through their cellular phones in absence of Internet connectivity.
