ePost Service is launched on 30th January 2004 nationwide. ePost service enables people to send and receive messages or scanned images through email from  Post   Offices   in   the  country.   For the first time in the country, people who would not normally have access to internet would be able to send and receive email   messages    without    possessing   an    email    id   thereby    bridging  the digital divide in   the arena of public  communication   systems. The   advent of  ePost is a turning point  in the transformation  of the  Department of Posts into  a modern  , technology    driven   provider of communication services to the people of India.
