To realise its development goals, CSDMS brings out publications on five thematic areas: 'i4d', 'eHEALTH', 'digitalLEARNING', 'egov', and 'telecentre magazine', which are available both in print and online versions. CSDMS also provides platforms for sharing knowledge to partners through globally renowned conferences like e-Asia and e-India, which attract academicians and researchers from all accross the globe.
