In
a review meeting held today, Minister of Communications &
Development of North Eastern Region, Shri Jyotiraditya M Scindia,
discussed the 100-day action plan of Department of Posts. Under his
dynamic leadership and guidance, the Department of Posts aims at
transforming service delivery and enhancing efficiency through key
initiatives to benefit the nation and its citizens.
Dak Chaupal: Bringing services to rural doorsteps
In
a landmark initiative, the Department of Posts will be organizing 5,000
Dak Chaupals across the country in the 100 days. This initiative aims
to bring essential government and citizen-centric services directly to
rural areas, improving accessibility and convenience. Dak Chaupals will
serve as vital links between rural residents and government functions,
reducing barriers such as distance and accessibility.
Dak Ghar Niryat Kendra (DNK): Boosting rural exports
Dak
Ghar Niryat Kendra Scheme is set to bolster rural exports by supporting
small-scale exporters. This initiative provides essential services
including documentation assistance, market information, bar-coded label
printing, and paperless customs clearance. Aligned with the 'One
District—One Product’ initiative, this scheme will promote local
products, contributing to economic growth and rural development. The
Department aims to onboard 3000 new exporters onto the Dak Ghar Niryat
Kendra Portal in 100 days.
Standardized Geo-Coded Addressing System: Revolutionizing service delivery
The
Department of Posts is advancing an initiative to establish a
standardized, geo-coded addressing system in India, ensuring simplified
addressing solutions for citizen-centric delivery of public and private
services. This grid-based system will serve as a robust pillar of
Geospatial Governance, leading to enhancements in public service
delivery, faster emergency response, and a significant boost to
logistics efficiency.
As
part of the 100-day action plan, the Department has initiated Proof of
Concept (PoC) trials across India, covering 10 villages and a city. An
MoU has been signed on July 5, 2024, with the National Institute of
Urban Affairs (an autonomous body under the Ministry of Housing and
Urban Affairs, Government of India) to establish a knowledge support
partnership. Another MoU is in progress with the National Remote Sensing
Centre (NRSC) of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) to
establish a technical support partnership.
These
partnerships aim to leverage advanced technologies and expertise to
provide precise mapping and addressing solutions, ultimately
revolutionizing service delivery across the country.
Empowering citizens through strategic initiatives
Through
initiatives like Dak Chaupals, the DNK Scheme, and the standardized
geo-coded addressing system, the Department of Posts aims to
significantly improve the quality of life for citizens while fostering
inclusive growth and development across the country. These efforts
underscore the Department's proactive approach and dedication to meeting
the evolving needs of a diverse and rapidly advancing society.
Under
the guidance of Shri Jyotiraditya M Scindia, the Department of Posts is
set to achieve remarkable milestones in the first 100 days. By
enhancing accessibility and efficiency, the Department of Posts is
poised to catalyze socio-economic progress and improve the quality of
life for millions across the country.
