What is an eLink Telecentre?

 
The eLINK telecentres will offer communication round the clock through the Internet - ‘World Wide Web’ of computers. The Internet carries information and even has ordering services easily accessible by the public visiting the telecentres can be provided. There will be personal computers for those who wish to use Internet with or without the assistance of a telecentre attendant. 

Typically, a telecentre offers a range of communication and information services to the public. A telecentre has a role to play in regions where communication access is scarce or unaffordable to most people. It is centrally located in a town and managed in a business-like manner. This is necessary to ensure sustainability and good customer service. 

The most usage of the eLink telecentres is expected to be made by: commercial farmers; professional service providers in health, agriculture and education; traders; civic leaders; students. Lower income groups will indirectly benefit from the telecentres, as more, better and quicker services will reach their towns.
