More services to be brought under Gram One Centre, CM Bommai

Bengaluru, Aug. 17: With a view to providing civic services in gran panchayat level, Chief Minister Basavaraja Bommai instructed officials to add a few more  services to Grama One Centres to strengthen them.

Chairing the review meeting of Department of e-governance here on Wednesday, he asked officials to identify the services that could be provided at Grama One Centres, discuss it with departments concerned and then take necessary steps.

Bommai suggested officials to experiment on providing the services of Atal Jana Snehi Centres which are functioning in Hobli level at least in a few Gram One Centres. Discussion was also held regarding starting of the new data centre and the officials were asked to select the suitable place for the proposed Centre. Even private companies are coming forward to start the Data Centre and a policy needs to be worked out to take services from those centres.

He instructed officials to start preparations for starting Drone School under the PM Gathishakthi scheme at a cost of Rs 25 crore.
