Common Services Centers (CSCs), under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), have joined hands with the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) to enable e‑commerce access to rural citizens across India. This joint venture will enable the integration of CSC's e‑Grameen app on the ONDC Network as a buyer application, allowing citizens across rural India to access its vast e‑commerce Network.
CSC services will become a part of the ONDC Network in two phases
In the first phase, it will be on boarded as a buyer-side platform, allowing citizens visiting CSC to place orders for essentials via the Grameen app. With over 4 lakh CSC points across India, this will enable millions of new users to access e‑commerce, through their trusted neighborhood CSC.
In the second phase, CSC sellers registered on the Grameen e‑Store will be able to receive orders via ONDC. This will boost entrepreneurship opportunities and incomes for villag e‑level entrepreneurs, driving the vision of Gram Swaraj.
