Government of India's National e-Governance Plan has a clear vision. It aims to "make all the government services accessible to the common man in his locality, through common service delivery outlets and by ensuring efficiency, transparency and reliability of such services at affordable costs." Like all other UPA-led Congress projects this one too is ambitious with a heavy focus on the 'aam adami.' Not many doubt that the NeGP project is the single most important project that binds together all the individual e-governance initiatives under one roof to ensure availability of government services right up to the grassroots. It is under this project that the government intends to create 1,00,000 technology-enabled points-of-presence called Common Service Centers (CSC) for 6,00,000 villages. The project, which is one of the largest IT public-private partnerships in the country, intends to reach out to the rural have-nots in a big way.
