As part of the programme, public welfare services will be available at e-gram offices in each panchayat and villagers will not have to go all the way to taluka or district-level offices.
The work connecting 3,500 village panchayats (through optical fibre network) has been completed.
On October 8, the programme will be launched in 2,700 villages as the model code of conduct is in force in villages that fall under the eight assembly constituencies where byelections are scheduled on November 3,” Rupani said. By December this year, 8,000 village panchayats will be provided this service

The ‘Digital Seva Setu’ aims to provide fast and faceless services to people by removing corruption or the need for middlemen

We are starting with 20 services, and will slowly offer 50 services to villages. All the 14,000 gram panchayats in the state will be covered under the programme

The system makes use of digital service and removes corruption in administration…we will complete the work of connecting the remaining villages by 2021

Under the ‘Digital Seva Setu’ programme, gram panchayats will be connected to the state data centre at Gandhinagar

The programme has been initiated under the Centre’s BharatNet Project that aims to connect village panchayats through optical fibre network, with Gujarat being the project leader, having laid around 83 per cent of the optical fibre network, government officials claimed
