Prasad said events were organised at more than 57,000 common service centres (CSC), wherein more than 34.2 lakh people (rural citizens, youth, e-Service users) participated.
Events were organised at more than 1,500 post offices across the country and more than 1.75 lakh citizens have been informed about Digital India and e-services.
