The initiative is the digital avatar of the “Seva Setu” programme which was started by Rupani in 2016. In this initiative, a cluster of 8 to 10 villages was formed and a team of officers administered the programme-related camp of a particular cluster.
Official Launch of Digital Seva Setu Programme
On 8 October 2020, the Digital Seva Setu Programme was launched in 2,700 villages.
