EW DELHI, NOV 29, 2024: THE Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has set up a vibrant stall at the India International Trade Fair (IITF) in Hall No. 14. Hosted by Common Service Centers (CSC), the stall showcases a wide range of digital and community services, including the Grameen eStore, CSC Academy, DigiPay, Aadhaar-related services, and other key initiatives. The primary aim of this exhibit is to spread awareness about the facilities provided by CSC and encourage more people to leverage these services for their empowerment.

The Dynamic Leaders Behind the Stall

This CSC stall is led by two dedicated and inspiring Village Level Entrepreneurs (VLEs) from Delhi, Siddharth and Vikas. Their dedication and commitment reflect the transformative power of digital services, as they serve their communities while setting examples for others.

Siddharth: A 22-Year-Old Visionary

Siddharth, a 22-year-old entrepreneur, started his CSC center in 2020. Operating from Mandawali, Delhi, he faced the responsibility of supporting his family right after completing his 12th-grade education. Despite the challenges, he turned his situation around by utilizing the income generated through CSC services. Today, Siddharth manages services such as Aadhaar registration, DigiPay, and Grameen eStore with great efficiency. His journey is a testament to how young individuals can transform their lives by seizing the right opportunities.

Vikas: A Story of Resilience and Success

50-year-old Vikas has overcome significant challenges in his life. Stricken by polio in childhood, he experiences difficulty walking. However, his determination never wavered, and he established his CSC center in the Rohini area of Delhi. Vikas's story serves as a powerful reminder that physical limitations cannot hinder one's drive and potential for success.

Through his center, he provides vital services like Aadhaar enrollment, seamless transactions via DigiPay, and other government schemes.

The CSC Stall: A Symbol of Digital Empowerment

Visitors to the CSC stall at IITF can explore opportunities like the Grameen eStore, which facilitates easy buying and selling of products, DigiPay for cashless transactions, and CSC Academy's programs to enhance digital literacy. The efforts of VLEs like Siddharth and Vikas underscore how digital services can bridge gaps and empower individuals, even in the face of adversity.

Role Models for Society

The inspiring journeys of Siddharth and Vikas illustrate that digital services are not just tools for livelihood but also a means to uplift every segment of society. Their hard work and dedication have made them role models for countless others aspiring to achieve financial independence and social impact.

The CSC stall at the India International Trade Fair exemplifies the success of the Digital India initiative, reaching even the remotest corners of the country. Siddharth and Vikas, with their resilience and determination, stand as shining examples of this transformation.

Their stories teach us that success is achievable despite challenges if one has perseverance and the right opportunities. CSC's initiative not only promotes digital inclusion but also inspires individuals across the nation to become self-reliant and empowered.
