Sub centres: Sub centres to main AKSHAYA Centres can be established under
the approval of Local bodies concerned. The sub-centres can be set-up by the selected
entrepreneurs only. Panchayaths can suggest two types of sub centres.

opened in the locations specified by Town Planning Department, as per the
original spatial mapping approved as per G.O (Rt) No.69/2004/ITD dated 29 th
March 2004, 3-1 systems are to be provided in these centres by the entrepreneurs,
with the same specifications as that of main centres. Systems can be taken rentals
by Entrepreneurs.
However, during the service delivery phase of the project, if the local
bodies identify that the existing AKSHAYA access points available in the
Panchayats are not sufficient to provide services to the citizens, the local bodies
through a resolution can decide that the entrepreneur of the catchment may be
instructed to run a sub-centre for service delivery, with permission from KSITM.
b. Using the existing facility – Existing computer centres/ Schools etc can be used
as sub centres with the consent of the owner. Any financial commitment between
the entrepreneurs and the parties will be undertaken by the entrepreneur. Local
bodies may give necessary support to the entrepreneurs in case they are willing to
provide systems in schools or LSGI owned centres.
c. Small Centres in remote locations – If found necessary, Akshaya Centre owners
can move systems to remote inaccessible locations, Where people demand e-
literacy. Systems can be placed in houses/Anganwadis or LP Schools for
conducting the programme.

list of 1321 locations appended to this Order for eth setting up the AKSHAYA
centres in the 7 districts. as mentioned above.
Government are also pleased to order that in those locations where access
is inadequate, sub-centres can be set up, during the e-literacy phase, by observing
the above criteria for setting up sub-centres. During the service delivery phase of
the project, if the local bodies identify that the existing AKSHAYA access points
available in the Panchayats are not sufficient to provide services to the citizens,
the local bodies through a resolution can decide that the entrepreneur of the
catchment may be instructed to run a sub-centre for service delivery, with
permission from KSITM.
