The Department of Posts is advancing an initiative to establish a standardized, geo-coded addressing system in India, for ensuring simplified addressing solutions for citizen-centric delivery of public and private services. In this regard, the Department had collaborated with IIT Hyderabad for developing a National Addressing Grid, 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 DIGIPIN layer will act as the addressing reference system which can be used for logically locating addresses with directional properties built into it due to the logical naming pattern followed in its construction.

The DIGIPIN is proposed to be fully available in the public domain and can be easily accessed by everyone. The DIGIPIN Grid system being an addressing referencing system, can be used as the base layer for other ecosystems, including various service providers and utilities, where addressing is one of the processes in the workflow.

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 has released a beta version of National Addressing Grid ‘DIGIPIN’ on 19.07.2024 for public feedback, the details of which may be accessed through the India Post website: https://www.indiapost.gov.in/vas/Pages/digipin.aspx

The Department of Post in collaboration with MyGov cordially invites you to explore the beta platform and provide constructive feedback, which will help in fine tuning the specifications of the DIGIPIN.

जब भी किसी से मिलों तो पुछो ,
नमस्ते , राम - राम

कुछ तरक्की करी नहीं करी या अभी भी पहले जैसें हों
क्या भारत देश अभी भी पहले जैसा है

आप का काम सहराणीय सेवाभाव का है

Firstly, I welcome the futuristic initiative of DIGIPIN by Department of Posts.
The format of DIGIPIN should include the name of State & Postal circle where the recipient's address is situated; for instance,
TN-CH-____-____-____ (TN-State of Tamil Nadu & CH-Chennai Postal Circle).
This will make it easier for the Post Offices to identify the State where the consignment is to be delivered, especially in case of Inter-State & International postal & cargo services.
This will also reduce the chances of errors in identifying & delivering consignment across the nation & will be an alternate mechanism to verify the system's output.

How it is different from geo tagging initiative launched by GST portal?
Why we require such an accurate digital location?
Will it not be a security threat?
It creates more questions than answers.

A recommendation from a STRATEGIC POLICY perspective for establishing a NATIONAL ADDRESSING GRID of a HYBRID model as an organisation (unlike as drafted in the document of DigiPIN) with a futuristic and inclusive Governance approach by including the jurisdictions of various entities and departments to achieve an objective of not only ONE NATION ONE ADDRESS but also REALTIME and COMPLETE ADDRESSING SYSTEM.
The concept of DigiPIN should be envisioned as a TOOL for ground implementation of the missions of National Addressing Grid, hence should be revisited in aligned with the Mechanism and Methodology of NAG.
However, the Technical Component of the mechanism of DigiPIN as an initiative is commendable as drafted in the policy at the website of India Post.
The PDF is provided describing the proposed POLICY, it's execution, implementation and evaluation in brief.
