Abstract :

The Government has embarked on setting up Common Service Centres (CSC) to enhance service delivery across the country to provide faster, efficient and transparent governance.

The study also aims to develop an empirical framework that would help the government to enhance the reach of common service centres along with women empowerment – mainly on two factors namely the age and education. The focus of study was chosen as Kerala, as this State has a higher percentage of women entrepreneurs venturing to start the CSC than other States. The results of the study and analysis are providing significant inputs to arrive at actionable plans for future. This paper concludes with specific recommendations for action plan for replication of the ideas
