Lucknow, India, September 29, 2026: Project GANGA, the state-wide digital transformation initiative of the Government of Uttar Pradesh being executed under the aegis of the State Transformation Commission (STC) in association with ONEOTT iNTERTAINMENT LIMITED (OIL), the broadband vertical of Hinduja Global Solutions, has seen significant traction since the launch by the Honorable Chief Minister, Shri. Yogi Adityanath ji, in June’26.
Over 3,000 applications have been received from aspiring Digital Service Providers (DSPs) and more than 600 shortlisted candidates have completed extensive training by OIL; with the first networks supported through the CM-YUVA scheme being rolled out.
Services being offered to consumers are under the “GangaFiber” brand – with packages starting as low as ₹399 per month inclusive of taxes; for a 50 Mbps connection. Available plans go up to ₹1,179 per month for a 1 Gbps package; including access to over 100 TV channels and 13 popular OTT platforms.
Speaking on the occasion, Shri. Manoj Kumar Singh, CEO, State Transformation Commission, Government of Uttar Pradesh pointed out that “The Hon’ble Chief Minister’s vision is clear; like expressways, Uttar Pradesh should be the number one state in building digital highways. Digital is a necessity for every citizen, enabling services from education and healthcare to remote working opportunities. Project GANGA was conceived to turn that vision into action at the grassroots. The first networks going ‘live’ validates the model. Young people from our districts, especially women; supported through the CM-YUVA scheme, are now building businesses that bring high-speed connectivity to their neighbors and truly facilitating the digital inclusion mission.”
Vynsley Fernandes, Whole-Time Director, HGS and MD & CEO of OIL, said, “Our resolve for Project GANGA has always been simple reflecting the hon’ble Chief Ministers guidance – every village, every town, every home connected, and no citizen left behind. That resolve has moved from plan to reality with over 3,000 applications received and 600 potential DSPs having undergone extensive training in the business of broadband, technology, marketing & customer service. Each DSP we train becomes the digital backbone of their own community, and the response we have seen from across Uttar Pradesh shows how ready the state is for this change. We are grateful to the Government of Uttar Pradesh for its proactive approach and remain committed to building a digital ecosystem that creates opportunity, drives livelihoods and powers the state’s progress for years to come.”
The rollout of networks builds on the momentum of last month, when Project GANGA inaugurated its dedicated DSP Training Centre in Lucknow. The centre was inaugurated by Her Excellency Ms. Harisoa Lalatiana Accouche, High Commissioner of Seychelles to India, and Sh. Manoj Kumar Singh, in the presence of senior officials from the state administration and the Hinduja Group. Also launched last month, the Project GANGA Learning Hub, an online Learning Management System (LMS), is making DSP training accessible across every corner of the state. The on-line platform allows aspiring DSPs, including those in the most remote locations, to access structured training modules, build their technical and business skills, and prepare to become network-ready, without needing to travel to a training centre.
As the programme scales, Project GANGA will continue to expand its DSP network, widen training opportunities and bring high-speed broadband closer to millions of households and businesses across Uttar Pradesh.
