| Introduction |
TOP |
A project of connecting the blocks of the District through ICT was launched in 2000 and accordingly four
community information centres were also setup in East Kameng District. Under Phase-1 project,
Chayangtajo Block was selected and then in Phase-II, Bameng, Pakke-Kessang and Seppa Blocks were
subsequently chosen for the sites. Under various natural stress and strain, the projects were completed in
2002 and have been operational since then. The main salient feature of the CICs has been the internet and
email services provided in such mountainous and terrain geography where telephone service is a far off
dream for a common man. The rural youths can now get connected with the rest of the world in a click of
button and get any information needed. For example, when the CBSE results were declared, the students of Bameng,
Pakke-Kessang and Chayangtajo got their results sitting in their schools or Block Hqr within no time. Prior
to setting up of CICs, they had to face the hardship of making long journeys to Seppa, the district hqr, and
then stand on long queues to know their results or they had to wait for more than a month for the results to
arrive at their school. Another benefit has been confirming train reservation status. So, the list goes
on....................

Each Centre is well- equipped with infrastructure including one server machine, five client systems,
one each of a VSAT, Laser Printer, Dot Matrix Printer, modem, LAN hub, TV, Webcam and two UPS (1KVA, 2 KVA).
CIC INFRASTRUCTURE
Each CIC has two CIC Operators (CICOs) for managing the centers and providing services to the public.
The project is a joint effort by Department of Information Technology (DIT) under Ministry of Communications
and Information Technology (MCIT), National Informatics Centre (NIC) and the State Governments of the
North-Eastern states.
DIT has funded the project and has the responsibility of overall monitoring and management. NIC is the
Implementation agency. Application Software development and Training of CIC Operators are a part of NIC’s
responsibilities. The State Governments were entrusted with the mandate of site selection, preparation and
maintenance, manpower recruitment and identification and creation of content for various services/applications
to be delivered through the CICs

The CICs, already operational, charge nominal amounts from users for services which helps them to meet
day-to-day running expenses such as consumables, stationery, fuel for the Genset etc.
DIT/NIC will continue to provide manpower support to the CICs for five years and NIC will provide technical
and maintenance support for this period. DIT/NIC will continue to provide satellite connectivity after five
years. The Community Information Centres will then be handed over to the respective state governments. The
state governments are required to evolve a viable business model to make the CICs self-sustaining during
these five years. The private sector may collaborate with government for effective service delivery.

| Future Plans |
TOP |
It is proposed to use the Community Information Centres for E-entertainment in the future.
A select bouquet of channels could be telecast through the VSAT based network as TVs with
other associated infrastructure is already available at the CICs. Other future prospects
are the provision of connectivity to Schools, Hospitals and Post Offices in major habitats.
