Monitoring and Evaluation Field Visit (Dungarpur, Rajasthan) Key takeaways:
Smartpurs are located at Panchayat Ghars in remote areas of Dungarpur, Rajasthan.
Through Nokia's support the team is giving services under - governance, livelihood, financial and education pillar to the local community members through these centers.
The team met with local government departments - Animal Husbandry, Social Protection Schemes, Agriculture etc. The officials see this as a very good way to promote and take the government schemes to the last mile.
Education classes running at the centers is helping to give exposure to basic computer skills to children and youth of the village. (These community members before this intervention had not seen or used computers)
The travelling time for villagers to obtain services like making Aadhar Card, Pan Card, Opening a Bank Account etc. has gone down significantly due to these Smartpur Centers.
The centers are developing local entrepreneurs with eventual goal - that they can self-sustain giving services with time
