UDC

What is UDC and why?

Union information and service center is a state-of-the-art information technology center (telecentre) set up in the Union Council, which aims at ensuring information service to grassroots people. From this center, people of rural areas get life and livelihood information and necessary services in their home environment very easily.

On November 11, 2010, Honorable Prime Minister inaugurated all the Union Information and Service Centers (UISC) across the country through video conferences from the Prime Minister of his office and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the former Prime Minister of New Zealand Mr Helen Clark, Bhar Karaikumukhi union of Bhola district. About 40 lakh people are receiving information and services from these centers. Through the UISC, the public and private services are getting a very positive change in the life of the local people through easy, fast and low cost.

The 'Journey to the People' (Service at Doorsteps) - started the journey in front of the slogan. With the establishment of the UISC, it is possible to create a free flow of information in every state of the society and the state system, where people are not going to door to door for service, but they are reaching the service. Free flow of information is one of the prerequisites for empowering the public. The establishment of information and service centers in 4,501 union parishads of the country has opened the way for information and services at the earliest, including participation in the free flow of rural people.

Materials:

A UDC has several computers and related materials to ensure improved information service for the public, which has been phased in and is being phased out. UDC comes with the necessary inputs from the entrepreneur's investment and the Union Parishad's Fund (Revenue Sector and LGSP Project). A computer with a minimum stabilizer, a sophisticated printer, a color printer, a modem for online connection, a scanner, a digital camera can be started initially in a UDC program. But for the full UISC management, the following materials are needed -

    Multiple computers (desktop and laptop)
    1 multimedia projector with large screen
    1 laser printer
    1 color printer
    1 modem
    1 scanner machine
    1 laminating machine
    1 photocopier machine
    1 digital camera
    1 webcam
    1 generator

Upon raising a UISC on the basis of local demand, there may be more or less than that.

Union Information and Service Centers have been established based on PPPP (Public-Private-People's Partnership) model. There are two local youth entrepreneurs in each UISC, among them a man and a woman. UISC operates these entrepreneurs. In some centers, a woman and a male entrepreneur are working as a 'alternate entrepreneur' as well as another man and woman. The merchants are not UISC's salaried workers, each UISC's income-earners' income. The entrepreneur at the UISC is also an investor.
