EESL Group Executive Vice-Chairperson (EVC) Saurabh Kumar said, “The number of CSCs has increased, and it is offering several benefits to the common man, largely in non-metro areas.”
He added that CSCs today are prescribed as one of the service deliveries points in rural India. “Through this partnership, I hope that we will be able to expand our footprint across remote areas of India and promote the implementation of energy efficiency projects.”
