"We are focusing on rural areas for which we have launched the Rural e-Mobility Programme at our 100 CSC centres.

CSC will also organise roadshows and bike rallies across India to promote the Rural e-Mobility Programme. "We are also setting up charging infrastructure at our CSCs for the convenience of our customers. We will soon expand our e-mobility programme by adding more CSC centres every month in rural and semi-urban areas," Tyagi said.
