Dear VLEs,

From various districts many VLEs are contacting me over phone, about the status of the centre and about the scheme. My sincere thanks to all.

Now, i learnt that our Tamilnadu Government is seriously taking various steps to be taken to solve the present crisis.

The present VLEs will not get affected, if they are willing to continue in this business.

May be, by end of this month, TNeGA will authorise a new Company to implement this project. Meanwhile, I request all the existing VLEs to stay in this business, and ready to invest a very marginal amount in the new proposed company.

Hereafter, we have no CSC business/issues with M/s. 3i-Infotech Ltd. other than asking them to refund the deposit money at the earliest.

Since, the founders of this association are already having the required knowledge about this project, this association strongly believes in this business, its viability, and other benefits the VLEs are going to get in the future. So, I request all the VLEs not to waste their energy/focus & money on the matters which happened in the past.

This association will be formally registered by end of this month. All VLEs please contact thro mail ( tncscfwa@gmail.com ) or over phone 9843050238, for further information.

Regards

K.Gurunathan

This e-governance project will be implanted in six e-districts of the state namely Gautam Budh Nagar, Ghaziabad, Rae Bareily, Sultanpur, Sitapur and Gorakhpur.

Appeal to all VLEs

Dear VLEs,

As expected the Government has acted swiftly, and it is now certain that, 3i-Infotech ltd. is no longer the implementing agency for the CSC project at Tamilnadu. Our sincere thanks to the TNeGA,for taking a decision in the interest of this project.

In this situation, 3i-infotech should refund the entire money collected from the VLE ( Rs. 1,25,000) without any deductions, and should leave the materials as it is with the existing VLEs.

Even though the cost of the materials is very low, (due to quality of the materials supplied) it will to little extent compensate the loss incurred by the VLEs.

This may be the Hon'ble exit for a leaving company.

This Association on behalf of all VLEs, demanding the company as stated above to refund the money of Rs. 1,25,000, and leave the materials as it is with the VLEs.

At least we can start the business with the new implementing agency with already available infrastructure. The value of the materials may not match with the loss incurred so far, but can useful to continue the business.

All VLEs please contact this association in this regard.

with best wishes,

K.Gurunathan
