With the Jharkhand Postal Circle launching an ambitious Rs 113 crore project to give a fresh look to the postal services in the state including introduction of e-services, the state is set to roll on digital mode.
To begin with, the circle has inaugurated an air-conditioned state-of-the-art customer interface centre at Ranchi Head Post Office recently. It will be equipped with all modern communication gadgets to enable the users send instant money orders and speed posts by self. Touch screen kiosks are being installed at the centre.
"Customer interface corner would soon house cyber cafes also at Doranda head post office, besides three other post offices located at Hazaribag, Jamshedpur and Madhupur," Jharkhand Postal Services Director Anil Kumar said.
These cyber cafes would run on dedicated broadband connection, and would be cheaper than market. Later the facility would be extended to 35 other post offices," Kumar added.
The circle has already placed order to the Bharat Sanchar Nigam (BSNL) for inter-linking about 4,000 post offices across the State for on-line operation.
"This will allow quick transfer and update of transactions right upto village levels," Kumar said.
With this, the circle also aims at taking the benefits of revolutions in the IT sector to each and every doorstep, even in remote areas with v-sat (virtual satellite) facility.
"Once the project completes, hopefully by the end of this fiscal, people living in far-flung areas can access services like making online purchases, deposit utility bills like telephone and electricity, book train tickets from any sub-post office," Kumar said.
The circle is set to inaugurate online train ticket booking at Mango post offices at Jamshedpur on August 29. This followed stupendous response of the facility launched a few months ago at Deoghar.
