Executive Summary Created in 2000, Chhattisgarh is the tenth largest state in the Country with a total geographical area of 135,000 sq km. The State comprises of 27 districts. With a 25.54 million population, Chhattisgarh accounts for about 2.11% of India’s total population. Problem: Chhattisgarh, as per Socio-Economic Caste Census 2011, is at ~29% mobile penetration which is lowest in India. This implies that 71% of rural households (HH] in the state, nearly 32 lakh, are unconnected. This is partly a chicken-and-egg problem as the networks are poor. Environment/Background: In current age of technological advancement, improved means of production and economies of scale, the mobile phones have become cheaper. However in terms of economics, higher penetration attracts capital expenditure (CapEx) from telecom operators. There is an established and very high correlation between mobile penetration and economic growth. According to research done by ICRIER, for every 10% increase in penetration the GDP increases by 1.5%. Solution: The Chhattisgarh Sanchar Kranti Yojana [CG SKY] Phase 1 project is a major initiative taken by Government of Chhattisgarh aimed to improve the mobile penetration in the state. The scheme entails distributing a mobile phone to each rural households through PDS and bring them into the mainstream. The revenue potential from the phone connections will ensure that the telecom service providers augment the network at their own cost.

Project Background Since its creation in 2000, Chhattisgarh has been one of the fastest growing states in India having built a strong industry base in core sectors like power, steel, coal, cement, etc. attracting investments from prominent industry houses. The state’s script of growth embraces the creation of first Greenfield capital city of 21st Century in the country- Naya Raipur with a total area of 237 Sq km, consistent increase in per capita GSDP registering more than two fold growth between 2004-05 and 2013-14, attracting IEMs worth USD 107.6 billion {14% of the total IEMs worth USD 781.2 billion across the country from 2010 and 2015 (July)}, focus on ICT economy and influx of Information technology [IT], Information technology enabled services [ITeS] and Electronics system design and manufacturing [ESDM] industries and presence of prominent public and private telecom players like BSNL, Airtel, Idea, Tata DoCoMo, Reliance, Reliance0 JIO, Vodafone inter alia. However, despite the steady stride towards development and urbanization, the positive socio- economic impact is not distributed homogenously throughout the entire region of state especially with a higher rural population percentage of ~76.7% (2011). The Socio-Economic Caste Census 2011 places mobile penetration in India at ~29%, lowest in the country translating to nearly 32 lakh unconnected households. District wise network reach and rural household penetration % is shown below: Mungeli Dhamtari Kabeerdham Raigarh Mahasamund Bemetara Korba Kanker Koriya Jashpur Dantewada Bijapur Overall CG 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% Network reach % (Rural HH) Mobile penetration % Chhattisgarh Infotech and Biotech Promotion Society 4 DPR for Implementation of “Chhattisgarh Sanchar Kranti Yojana [CG SKY] Phase 1” Current network coverage in the Chhattisgarh is shown below With Aadhaar enrolment at 93% and Bank Account openings at nearly 100%, Mobile is currently the missing link in the JAM trinity with a penetration of 29% only. The state is unable to make much headway in direct benefit transfers (DBT) because of its low mobile penetration.
