New Delhi [India], February 11 (ANI): Union Minister of Communications, Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) Ashwini Vaishnaw on Saturday said that the transformation of the postal department, in the last eight years, has become a medium to take services worth crores of rupees to far-flung areas digitally.
The event has been organised by the Department of Posts under the Ministry of Communications from February 11 to 15 to showcase the country’s rich culture, heritage and history through postage stamps.
“The way Prime Minister Narendra Modi has transformed the postal department, the digitisation of sending physical mail has created a huge network. Today, crores of people have their accounts in the post offices as they are provided with services worth crores of rupees. There is a digital transformation going on through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) portal for which I want to thank PM Modi,” Ashwini Vaishnaw told ANI.
He further urged the post lovers to visit the event to witness another decision to start a digital exhibition under which we will release a new reel or shots every week so that the youth can stay connected through the digital medium.
“We will start a digital campaign for philatelic, meaning digital stamp, to connect today’s generation with the postal history of the country,” he added.
On the occasion, Devusinh Chauhan said that it ought to be a proud moment for the country persons to witness the postal history of India.
