All three departments under the Ministry of Communication & IT – Department of Posts, Department of Telecommunications and Department of Electronics & Communication made tremendous success under the programme in the past two years to support digital empowerment of India & Indians. Through its wide network, Department of Posts enabled citizens residing in the hinterlands, to access core banking services & has brought the initiative to 21,319 Post Offices till date, among other things.
