Tamil Nadu has a vision to become $1 trillion economy by 2030 and the Dak Niryat Kendras opened by India Post last year across the state could help it realise the dream.
Catering mostly to MSMEs and rural industries to access global markets, these kendras have already generated export value of Rs 3.11 crore, said Chief Postmaster General J Charukesi. The kendras have 315 registered exporters as on date. Initially, the soft launch of the kendras happened in December last year and since then it has been expanded, she says.
"Till August, 49 Dak Ghar Niryat Kendras were operational in the state and now it has 65 kendras which is likley to be expanded by the end of the financial year," says G. Natarajan, Postmaster General, Chennai City Region.
Neeraj P S, Assistant Postmaster General ( Business Development) says that Dak Ghar Niryat Kendra serves as a one-stop destination for exporters, providing comprehensive assistance and streamlined processes for export-related documentation, logistics, customs procedures and packing. The centers offer valuable support to businesses, empowering them to navigate the complexities of international trade with ease.
Interestingly, these could slowly turn into export hubs, says Neeraj adding that the department is working towards popularising them in the state. "A majority of DNKs were added this year. We are trying to popularise them through youtube influencers and also through various other measures," he says.
Interestingly, the postal department is marking the National Postal Week starting from Monday with series of events.

Migrating from 2G to 5G services, Charukesi vows that the issues of connectivity would soon be resolved inthe state. She also said that Postal life insurance and rural postal life insurance has crossed Rs 1,000 crore in the state.
