Union Minister for Communications Jyotiraditya Scindia highlighted that India Post has evolved far beyond traditional mail delivery and now operates the country’s largest logistics network, with over 1.64 lakh service points across the country. In a podcast with Akashvani News, he informed that the organisation has appointed its first-ever Chief Technology Officer, and postmen are now equipped with handheld devices, enabling real-time digital tracking of every transaction. The Minister added that the department will soon launch DigiPIN, a geo-coded address system that will enable pinpoint delivery of couriers, even in the most remote regions of the country.

Describing India Post as the “window to the world” for the common man, Mr. Scindia said that in the last 10 months, the department has established around 1,000 postal export centres to support and empower small businesses and entrepreneurs.

The podcast will be released this evening on Akashvani’s official YouTube channel NEWSONAIROFFICIAL.
