- Common Service Centres (CSCs) are likely to become the largest providers of high-speed internet through hotspots in rural areas under the government’s latest project to connect the entire country through public WiFi under the PM WANI scheme.
- The initiative by the government-run network of digital kiosks will provide a major boost by immediately onboarding around 200,000 hotspots under the scheme in rural areas – especially in regions where mobile broadband is patchy or unavailable.
- CSCs, run by the Ministry of Electronics and IT, are laying the BharatNet fibre network across the country and already have 200,000 WiFi hotspots in rural areas. These existing hotspots will soon be made WANI compliant, a top official said.
- “Around 1.18 lakh villages have already been connected by BharatNet fibre. Every village will need close to 10-20 hotspots so we will have close to 20 lakh hotspots which will be onboarded onto the WANI network of public hotspots,” said Dinesh Tyagi, managing director of CSC e-governance Services.

- Edtech startup edWisor makes job seekers work with mentors to become job-ready by taking the right courses that suit employers, thereby addressing the problem of unemployability.
- Three years ago, Ramandeep Arora was trying to solve the problem of unemployability among students with his startup edWisor. However, the idea for an e-learning training model for Indian universities did not pan out the way he had hoped since most of them did not wish to add edWisor training as part of the core pedagogy.
- According to RoC data, edWisor’s revenue jumped from less than $100,000 in 2017 to $1 million (about Rs 7 crore) in FY20. For Ramandeep, his dream of removing the problem of unemployability for a graduate was well underway of being solved. Started in 2015 in Gurugram, edWisor connects job seekers with experienced professionals from the industry, including technical skills experts and HR grooming experts, who take one-on-one live classes to help candidates acquire job-specific skills, as well as prepare them for interviews.

- Gurugram-based agritech startup Bijak is transforming India’s agri trade with technology, information, and data. It has scaled up to 25 states in 18 months.
- Bijak started operations in April 2019, and has been a trailblazer in the agritech ecosystem. Its hyper growth prompted one of its investors to say, “Bijak has blown away everyone’s expectations about how fast an agritech startup can grow in India.”
- This is what Bijak solves with its real-time trading platform that brings reliability and transparency, and enables frictionless transactions. Nukul Upadhye, Co-founder of Bijak, tells YourStory, “We believe that market linkage is the most important piece in the agri value chain and has a direct and immediate impact on farmer incomes. We have just scratched the surface of the opportunity, and will continue to double down on our value proposition of bringing transparency and accountability in the sale of agri commodities.”
