DIGIPIN
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. The Department had collaborated with IIT Hyderabad for developing a National Level Addressing Grid-based addressing system, named as Digital Postal Index Number (DIGIPIN). This system will act as a strong and robust pillar of Geospatial Governance, leading to enhancements in public service delivery, faster emergency response and a significant boost to logistics efficiency.
The advent of DIGIPIN will mark a revolutionary step in India's journey towards digital transformation by bridging the crucial gap between physical locations and their digital representation.
The Department is releasing a beta version of National Level Addressing Grid ‘DIGIPIN’ for public feedback. Industry leaders, technical institutes, state/local governments, and the public are encouraged to participate and provide their valuable input, which will help in finetuning the specifications of the DIGIPIN.
