What is UDC and why?

Union Information and Service Center is a state-of-the-art information and knowledge center (telecentre) based on information technology established in the Union Parishad with the objective of ensuring information services at the doorsteps of the grassroots people. From this center, people of rural areas can easily get life and livelihood information and necessary services in a familiar environment near their homes.

About 4 million people are receiving information and services from these centers every month. With the easy, fast and low cost access to public and private services through UISC, the quality of life of the local people has started to change drastically

The establishment of UISC has made it possible to create a free flow of information in every sphere of society and state system, where people do not have to go door to door for services, but services reach the doorsteps of the people. Free flow of information is one of the prerequisites for people's empowerment.
