The Department of Posts is advancing an initiative to establish a standardized, geo-coded addressing system in India, for ensuring simplified addressing solutions for citizen-centric delivery of public and private services. In this regard, the Department had collaborated with IIT Hyderabad for developing a National Addressing Grid, named as Digital Postal Index Number (DIGIPIN). This system will act as a strong and robust pillar of Geospatial Governance, leading to enhancements in public service delivery, faster emergency response and a significant boost to logistics efficiency.

The DIGIPIN layer will act as the addressing reference system which can be used for logically locating addresses with directional properties built into it due to the logical naming pattern followed in its construction.

The DIGIPIN is proposed to be fully available in the public domain and can be easily accessed by everyone. The DIGIPIN Grid system being an addressing referencing system, can be used as the base layer for other ecosystems, including various service providers and utilities, where addressing is one of the processes in the workflow.

This system will act as a strong and robust pillar of Geospatial Governance, leading to enhancements in public service delivery, faster emergency response and a significant boost to logistics efficiency.

The advent of DIGIPIN will mark a revolutionary step in India’s journey towards digital transformation by bridging the crucial gap between physical locations and their digital representation.

The Department has released a beta version of National Addressing Grid ‘DIGIPIN’ on 19.07.2024 for public feedback, the details of which may be accessed through the India Post website: https://www.indiapost.gov.in/vas/Pages/digipin.aspx

The Department of Post in collaboration with MyGov cordially invites you to explore the beta platform and provide constructive feedback, which will help in fine tuning the specifications of the DIGIPIN.

Educational institutions should conduct training programmes for students, teachers and parents focused on the internet safety and on combating online threats. Moreover, government institutions can revise and reamend cyber-security laws and policies, and create helplines and portals for the ease of reporting cyber-crimes.

To tackle the issue of cyber security in the post-pandemic environment, all the stakeholders must work in collective coordination. Besides this, building an environment of trust and confidence necessitates a broader focus that forges user attitude through practical mechanisms and thus formulates a better internet-using environment.

Since parents and teachers have a significant influence on the impressionable minds of children and young people, it is only reasonable to have their role in cyber security all the more highlighted. Now, children can be easily taught and made to learn the rights and wrongs of digital safety but tackling teenagers and young adults are a bit more complicated. As they hold a lot of expert knowledge about new tech and its uses, so it is vital that cyber safety programmes that target them must not overstate the risks of online activities.

Digital Resilience A strong resolute ability or resilience to deal with any negative experience online or offline is called digital resilience. Explicit cyber security solutions conventionally focus on external protections like parental monitoring, institutional laws, policy enforcement, etc However, by contrast, digital resilience concentrates more towards a strength-based approach towards cyber safety which consists of internal protective measures like social literacy, self-regulation, etc.

Cyber safety is something that needs to be addressed in parallel with the changing trends in technology. It should be taken as a transformative backdrop of social media trends, products and practices and the fact that this technology will keep on changing and integrating into our everyday lives, the strategies and solutions must be flexible and adaptable. According to a recent study by UNESCO,62% of digital users have no idea that they were being cyberbullied. This makes it all the more significant to inculcate important regulations and guidelines beyond the academic sphere, especially during and after the pandemic.

The closing down of schools during the Covid-19 pandemic meant a complete reliance on online teaching for students to ensure that formal education remained as little disrupted as possible. Simultaneously, remaining at home for extended periods of time meant that children were spending more and more time online, for socialisation and entertainment. All across the world, the growing records of cyber security concerns have become more worrisome in the post-pandemic environment.

Rise of social media platforms One of the greatest achievements of the internet is the introduction of social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook in the lives of people. They are enjoyed not just for communication boost but to gather traction in genres of business, personal development, global issues, etc. However, social media has exposed millions of users, especially young kids to the threat of cyberbullying, digital fraud, sexual solicitation etc.

Changing trends in primary online usage and networked media Initially internet was used to access primarily for information gathering. Now, it has shifted to provide user engagement and communication building. With more youngsters on the forefront, recent data suggest 25-49 years olds are the most addictive users of social media.
