The Department of Posts partnered with the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) to conduct the largest-ever telecom network performance survey covering more than 5.68 lakh villages across the country. The survey aims to assess the quality and availability of mobile services provided by operators such as Bharti Airtel, Reliance Jio, Vodafone Idea, and BSNL. Using the extensive rural postal network, Gramin Dak Sevaks, and an Android-based mobile application, the initiative will identify connectivity gaps, support evidence-based policymaking, improve rural telecom infrastructure, and strengthen the Digital India mission by enhancing mobile connectivity in remote and underserved regions.
