GramaOne centers will be manned by village-level entrepreneurs (VLEs) under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. The 12 districts where these centers will be inaugurated on Wednesday are Bidar, Ballari, Koppal, Vijayapura, Haveri, Belagavi, Davanagere, Shivamogga, Udupi, Chikkamagaluru, Tumakuru, and Kodagu. Besides making services available to villagers under one roof and at their doorsteps, GramaOne also offers a unique opportunity in technology training and entrepreneurship to local people. “The VLEs are being appointed at the local level by the deputy commissioners,” he added.
