Citizens Digitally Empowered

How This Centre Works

A Smartpur Centre works as a community-owned digital services centre— a single place where community can access digital services, information, and skills under one roof. The working model is as follows:

1. Through the Government Panchayat Bhawan The centre established in Government GPs , strengthening the ownership of community. The centre is equipped with - IT equipment, furniture for workstation, health kit named as clinic in bag. The all Centres work under the six pillars network. 2. Local Entrepreneur / Centre Facilitator Model Each centre is run by a trained local person (Centre Facilitator/entrepreneur). This creates both employment and ownership — the centre becomes the community's own resource, not just a "project office." 3. Six-Pillar Service Delivery Education – smart classes, computer courses, career guidance Health – telemedicine consultations, basic diagnostics (health kit), awareness sessions Livelihood – skill training, market/e-commerce linkages Financial Inclusion – banking, UPI, insurance, pension enrolment Governance – e-District services, certificates, scheme applications DRR- Strengthened the community to preparedness for any types of disasters. 4. Fee-for-Service Sustainability Small nominal fee of services allows the centre to cover its own costs — which is why revenue tracking is maintained in your beneficiary registers. The goal is for the centre to remain self-sustaining even after donor funding ends. 5. Community Ownership (CMC) A Centre Management Committee — comprising local members and Panchayat representatives — stays involved in the centre's monitoring and decision-making, which is also your current priority.

My name is Harshit Kumar Verma, and I am from Nyaula Karsanda, Barabanki District, Uttar Pradesh. I believe that every person has the ability to achieve their dreams if they are willing to work hard and never give up. My journey as a Centre Facilitator with REACHA’s Smartpur Project has been an important part of my personal and professional growth. I gained practical knowledge about digital services, community engagement, government schemes, and livelihood opportunities. This experience has helped me become more confident, responsible, and aware of the needs of my community. It has also motivated me to dream bigger for my future. My vision is to become successful, support my family, and establish a stable career or business of my own. I know that success takes time, but I am ready to keep learning, working hard, and moving forward until I achieve my goals.
