Hi everyone,

India News: भारतीय डाक विभाग ने एक क्रांतिकारी बदलाव पेश किया है। नई DIGIPIN सेवा से अब लंबे पते लिखने की जरूरत नहीं रहेगी। यह 10 अंकों का अल्फान्यूमेरिक कोड है जो हर घर की सटीक लोकेशन दर्शाता है। इससे डाक और पार्सल सेवाओं में सटीकता आएगी और देरी कम होगी। पुराने पिन कोड की सीमाएं भारत में 1972 से चले आ रहे 6 अंकों के पिन कोड में कई कमियां थीं। एक ही कोड में हजारों घर आते थे। पते में छोटी सी गलती से डाक गलत जगह पहुंच जाती थी। पहाड़ी इलाकों में तो डाकियों को विशेष परेशानी होती थी। नया सिस्टम इन्हीं समस्याओं का समाधान लेकर आया है।
