2 ನಿಮಿಷ

DIGIPIN is a geo-coded digital address system introduced by the Department of Posts that assigns a short alphanumeric code to a location.

It divides the country into small grid cells of about 4 m by 4 m, so a code identifies a precise doorstep or spot even where formal addresses are weak.

It is meant to support delivery, emergency response and service planning.
