Push for integration of India Post's DIGIPIN into key govt. departments
Hyderabad Chief Postmaster General of Telangana Postal Circle P.V.S. Reddy met Chief Secretary K. Ramakrishna Rao on Friday, and proposed the integration of India Post's DIGIPIN platform into key government departments to improve services, particularly in rural and underserved areas. Mr. Reddy spoke about 'Know Your PIN Code' and 'Know Your DIGIPIN' initiatives and urged the government to embed DIGIPIN into the operational frameworks of departments such as Disaster Response, Health, Police, Civil Supplies, and Revenue. He emphasised its robustness and cited scenarios such as highway accidents, where the 4m x 4m geo-coding enabled by DIGIPIN allows emergency responders to pinpoint exact location, when callers are unable to describe them, ensuring timely assistance. In flood relief operations, the platform helps authorities accurately tag and reach affected households, enabling targeted delivery of essentials without ambiguity. He touched upon the ongoing co-location of post offices in Gram Panchayats. Thus far, 1,014 have been co-located, and he requested further instructions to District Collectors to facilitate relocation of the remaining 4,429. He also called for expedited land mutation of Postal Department properties. The Chief Secretary responded positively.
