Pathan (Pune), June 7th, 2022: Common Service Centre (CSC) is a pan-India network enabling Government’s mandate to build a socially, financially, and digitally inclusive society. Contributing to the “Digital India” mission, CSC and SugarBox Networks have partnered to digitally connect rural geographies.

Every time the country speaks of moving experiences to a digital platform, the real question is in evaluating how the ‘last-mile’ connectivity will be addressed. Lack of Infrastructure, minimal awareness about digital services, unavailability of services in the local language, or commercially unfeasible (for providers), are often cited as common reasons for the existing digital divide. The need of the hour is to utilize this existing ecosystem (and infrastructure) to connect citizens across the underserved as well as unserved geographies.

And this is the solution that Dr. Dinesh Tyagi, Managing Director, CSC e-Governance Services India Ltd envisioned. Today, the end-user in a remote area or in an area with unreliable or no network connection can access native digital content, as if they were residing in a (digitally) connected area, through the application of a patented Hyperlocal Edge Cloud technology solution, which Dr. Dinesh Tyagi believed would be a stepping stone towards a better future.

“The partnership of CSC and SugarBox Networks is to enable access to digital information across gram panchayats, at zero data cost. The objective of this partnership is to equip villagers, across the country, with information on education, healthcare, and entertainment through movies and video series as well as make digital payments a reality. We have initiated this partnership through pilot programs in villages, spread across different geographies, in the country”, expressed Dr. Dinesh Tyagi, Managing Director, CSC e-Governance Services India Ltd.

The intent of this partnership is to bridge the digital divide by replicating this model in as many unserved geographies as possible. Presently, SugarBox has enabled access to digital services in over 40 Gram Panchayats, across Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Uttarakhand

“The partnership with SugarBox Networks has enabled our community to gain digital access at an affordable price. It has also helped in fostering a sense of community-building, as everyone gathers around the CSC centers to spend their free time viewing movies and entertainment. Villagers at Pathetan are now able to consume entertainment as and when they want to, at zero data cost. We hope this impact becomes a reality across villages, in the country”, said Smt. Jyoti Govind Yadav, Sarpanch, Patethan village.

SugarBox is working towards deploying the Hyperlocal Edge Cloud Technology solution across high catchments (Public) areas such as gram-panchayats, CSCs, and government schools, so that staying ‘digitally connected’ for villages becomes an equitable necessity.

“Villages today need equal opportunities – be it financially, economically, or even digitally. It is important to acknowledge that residents in remote locations should have access to the benefits that the digital universe offers, to enhance their livelihoods. Our partnership with the CSC centers is unlocking the opportunity to offer seamless and reliable access to digital content for the villagers, at zero data charges. Pathan has become one of our first model villages, where we deployed our patented technology solution as part of the pilot projects. We are confident that this is a beginning to building the backbone for the internet of the future and laying the foundation towards internet democracy”, added Rohit Paranjpe, CEO & Co-Founder, SugarBox Networks.

Under the guidance of Dr. Dinesh Tyagi, we are confident that this collaboration is a strong step ahead to offering education, rural commerce, and digital payments in rural India, thus improving future capabilities and extending the reach to the next billion users.

Do you know what boAt, IVM Podcasts, and UrbanClap have in common?

They are all industry-defining companies that began working from a conference room at SOCIAL Works.

Steering away from the mainstream coworking space idea, SOCIAL Works offers a unique model to connect, collaborate and create, without restricting your social life.

It’s not news anymore that the pandemic took away any semblance of social life and stuck everyone indoors and blurred the lines between work, family time, food, and even parties. Work from home fatigue has been a reality for every employee. With restrictions easing and spaces opening up, we once again have the option to step out, but with companies still keeping WFH as an option the employees end up looking for quiet quaint cafes. With everyone doing just this, the quaint cafes might still be quaint but aren’t necessarily quiet or even have space for a big team sometimes.

 For years now SOCIAL Works has been replacing the definition of a workspace by providing top-of-the-line utilities, the vibrant environment of a club, and great food with a full wait staff to boot.,.

SOCIAL Works ensures that you maintain a work and social life balance, while also giving you the added bonus of having a space to interact with like-minded individuals as you would at work. SOCIAL Works is vying for that, ‘it’s my second home’ tag.

Whether you are a start-up, someone with a creative flair looking for inspiration to create, or a big company looking for a space to conduct your team meeting, SOCIAL Works is your go-to place. No prior membership or any red tape hassle. Come and ask for a pass for a day, a week, or a month. We are all about being there for people putting in the work.

Be it good food, good music, great conversations, silence at work, and a new view from the work desk every day, we literally have it all. As an added perk you also don’t have to get your own coffee anymore.

In a redefined work culture, SOCIAL Work, a concept of SOCIAL, is set to make waves in this new post-pandemic era.

From printers to high-speed internet and stationery available to the members, SOCIAL Works definitely makes those deadlines and long meetings more fun, productive and lets you reward yourself with an after-party, without actually leaving the space.

Pune City 15th October 2021: You Broadband India is Continuously Facing Internet Problem Since a Long Time in City Area & Company is failing to give uninterrupted and decent internet service.
