The Van will also conduct Street Plays at various citizen interface points such as Tathya Mitra Kendra (CSCs), Gram Panchayats, Schools, Colleges, etc highlighting the e-services and their benefits. 


Presently, there are various services available in electronic mode and the citizens of West Bengal especially in rural areas are not fully aware of these e-services and its delivery channels. 


The campaign is aimed at bringing more awareness among the public by engaging them during the campaign with activities like quiz, games, skit play, etc.

In West Bengal, 2 campaign vans will be deployed over a period of 8 months to cover 19 districts and Kolkata Municipal Corporation areas.
