The DHRUVA policy, introduced by the Department of Posts, aims to create a standardized Digital Address Infrastructure using geo-coded data to enhance service delivery across India. DHRUVA, which stands for Digital Hub for Reference and Unique Virtual Address, is designed to overcome inconsistencies in traditional address formats and improve the efficiency of public and private sector services. By adopting an Address-as-a-Service (AaaS) model, it ensures user privacy, interoperability, and inclusive access. The initiative positions address data as a core component of India’s Digital Public Infrastructure, aligning it with key systems like Aadhaar and UPI to support governance, logistics, and financial inclusion.
