The VRC concept has been evolved by ISRO and implemented through a partnership with MSSRF by integrating ISRO's capabilities in satellite communications and satellite based earth observation to disseminate a variety of services emanating from the space systems and other Information Technology tools to address the changing and critical needs of rural communities. The VRC is a totally interactive VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) based network.

VRCs can also provide a variety of services like tele-education, telemedicine, online decision support, interactive farmers' advisory services, tele-fishery, e-governance services, weather services and water management. By providing tele-education services, the VRCs act as virtual community centric learning centres. At the same time, VRCs will provide connectivity to specialty hospitals thus bringing the services of expert doctors closer to the villages. (Acknowledgement ISRO)

Sambhav in collaboration with Development Alternatives and ISRO has set up these VRC’s at Shivpuri, Pohari and Chhatarpur.
