E-Halli, conceptualised on the basis of former President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam’s ‘Providing Urban Amenities in Rural Areas (PURA)’, aims at bridging the information gap between villages and cities. The E-Halli centres would provide services and information about various schemes of Government departments, both Central and State, gram panchayats, banks, hospitals, blood banks, diagnostic centres, veterinary centres, market prices, agricultural farming, business, educational institutions, timings and fare of busses, trains, flights, the place of reservation and goods transport system.
In the first phase, the centres will be established in 10 districts, and grow to finally cover 5,628 gram panchayats in the State. [Via]
