Abstract: Abstract The beginning and the evolution of Drishtee both as an organization and a telecentre initiative is closely linked to the evolution of telecentres in India. In 1999, Drishtee, as a small software development firm, made the website for Gyandoot.1 It subsequently positioned itself as a network orchestrator of entrepreneur-owned information kiosks providing products and services catering to the demand in rural areas. Drishtee is often credited for pioneering and successfully demonstrating a financially sustainable and replicable model of ICT-enabled, fee-based private service delivery channel (World Bank, 2003a). This case study is on the Drishtee Soochna Kendra (Information Kiosk) located at Kesarpur in Bareilly district, Uttar Pradesh (UP), India.
