The agreement also enables integration of DIGIPIN with ESRI India’s Living Atlas portal, allowing wider accessibility for the global GIS community. ESRI India will provide technical support to ensure seamless integration and implementation.

Building a Citizen-Friendly Addressing System

The MoU was signed at Dak Bhawan in New Delhi in the presence of senior officials. Speaking on the occasion, Harpreet Singh, Member (Operations), Department of Posts, said the collaboration is a major step toward realizing the DIGIPIN vision. “With ESRI’s robust base maps and geospatial technology, DIGIPIN will empower citizens and government services with accuracy and accessibility,” he noted.

Strengthening Service Delivery and Citizen Engagement

Officials underlined that the partnership represents a significant milestone in the ground-level implementation of DIGIPIN. By combining ESRI India’s mapping capabilities with DoP’s vast nationwide network, the initiative will provide greater precision and user-friendliness.
