Similarly, he also informed that all 36 GPUs within the district have been equipped with Common Service Centres (CSC) along with the appointment of two trained personnel to facilitate the services. These centres can be visited for availing various services like paying of road-tax, booking of train, flight tickets and so forth at the convenience of their own Gram Prasashan Kendras (GPKs).
