BSNL's Initiative to Enhance Digital Connectivity in Chhattisgarh

In a significant move to bolster digital inclusion, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) is set to install 4,000 new mobile towers in the Naxalite-affected and remote regions of Chhattisgarh. This initiative, announced by Union Minister of State for Telecom and Rural Development Dr Pemmasani Chandra Sekhar, aims to extend high-quality 4G services to underserved areas, ensuring digital connectivity reaches the last village in the country.

Strategic Implementation for Maximum Impact

The project will be rolled out in phases, pending necessary clearances from security agencies and the forest department. Highlighting the government's commitment, Pemmasani emphasized the mission-mode approach towards development in Naxalite-hit regions, focusing on doorstep delivery of services and digitization of schools to aid students in competitive exam preparations.

Empowering Communities Through Digital and Social Initiatives

Beyond infrastructure, the initiative includes special provisions for differently-abled students and leverages self-help groups (SHGs) to drive inclusive growth. The 'Pink Auto' initiative stands out as a testament to empowering women, offering them financial assistance, training, and marketing opportunities to foster self-reliance.
