Government-run CSC e-Governance Managing Director Dinesh Kumar Tyagi’s tenure ended on August 31. He led the organisation for almost a decade. Tyagi in a message to village-level entrepreneurs (VLEs) running Common Service Centres providing government services to the public, announced his departure from the organization.
''CSC VLE passion and zeal to serve the community has been the motivation for all those associated with this movement, employees, service providers and other partners. Today as I get relieved from CSC SPV wishing all the very best to every CSC VLE and his family,'' Tyagi said.
While Tyagi is a former IAS officer of 1979 batch from the Manipur-Tripura cadre (MT), CSC CEO Sanjay Rakesh, a 1990 batch of MT cadre will lead the CSC which is an initiative of Digital India under the Ministry of Electronics and Information of Technology.
Tyagi has been instrumental in scaling up CSC from around 60,000 in 2014 to over five lakh at present employing around 15 lakh people mostly in rural areas and small towns.
Common Service Providers have contributed in the dissemination of public welfare schemes like toilet subsidies, Jeevan Pramaan, Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, Ayushman Bharat, Kisan Maandhan Yojana, Shram Yogi Maandhan etc.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi too has acknowledged the contribution of CSC at several occasions for uplifting the lives of people in rural areas.
