Department of Posts Secretary Aman Sharma at a CII conference said that the government has provided the department with Rs 5,200 crore for the modernisation of the post offices using technology.
"We have recently completed delivery through drones in Gujarat. The government has asked us to take forward the IT project that we started in 2012. The postal and various government services will be soon given on doorsteps. "Rather than people coming to post offices, with the help of technology, services will be delivered on their doorsteps," Sharma said.
He said that digital transformation is going to be the way forward and the government is very bullish on using technology to provide services to citizens. During the pandemic, India Post delivered more than Rs 20,000 crore to the doorstep of people using Aadhaar enabled payment systems.
