Department of Posts (DoP) and Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) have signed an MoU today in New Delhi to expand BSNL’s mobile connectivity across India. The MoU aims to bridge the digital divide, empower rural households with mobile services, and advance the broader goals of Digital India, for financial inclusion, and socio-economic development.

 

 

The agreement will make BSNL’s telecom services more accessible and affordable, particularly for citizens in the remotest parts of the country. Under this, the Department of Posts will leverage its postal network of over 1.65 lakh Post Offices for sale of BSNL SIM cards across the country and will serve as a powerful last-mile channel for BSNL to enhance its presence in both urban and rural geographies.
