On Friday, the Department of Posts achieved a significant milestone by delivering the National Flag via drone for the first time. This event took place between Mandi and Rehardhar in Himachal Pradesh. The initiative highlights a blend of patriotism, public service, and cutting-edge technology.
India Post is contributing to the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign by making the National Flag available for delivery to citizens across the country, enabling people to participate in the celebration of national pride from their homes. The initiative is aimed at strengthening connectivity and facilitating efficient mail delivery across difficult terrains. It reflects the ethos of ‘Dak Sewa, Jan Sewa’ and its continuing endeavour to use innovation and technology to connect citizens and serve the nation, the release added.
The initiative was carried out virtually by the Union Minister of Communications and Development of North Eastern Region, Jyotiraditya Scindia, on the eve of Independence Day, an official release said. By exploring drone-based mail transmission, the Department of Posts is seeking innovative solutions to ensure that postal and public services can reach citizens even where conventional modes of transportation pose challenges, the release said.
