Shri Jyotiraditya M Scindia reviews 100-Day Action Plan of
Department of Posts
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.
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.
