‘Nanyatha’, a monitoring mechanism for
letter box clearance - Inaugurated
at Vijayawada
‘Nanyatha’, a monitoring mechanism for letter box clearance through a
unique ID generation, was launched by Chief Postmaster General,AP Circle B.V.
Sudhakar at Vijayawada on 21.11.2014.
“The facility has been introduced with the aim of helping people know the
status of letter clearance from a particular letter box,” Sri Sudhakar, CPMG
said. The deparment has created a unique 12-digit number to serve as the
identification number for each letter box. A bar code, printed on the rear door
of the box to capture details, will be generated for the unique number. The
entire application will be based on Android operating system, he said.
“The application helps us upload data on location of letter box, date and
time of letter clearance and the person who cleared them on the web
(http://appost.in/nanyatha) when the bar code is scanned using the smart
phone,” he said. The letter box details, date and time of clearance will be
sent to the central server using GPRS technology.
The server, in turn, will validate the information and accept the date
and time of clearance through management information system (MIS). Denizens can
log on to the website and enter the location of the letter box to get
information about the date and time of clearance. A log-in name and password
have been provided to postal administrators of each division for entering the
website and see the MIS details comprising the name of the post office and the
letter box under its jurisdiction.
Sri B.V.Sudhakar said the facility was launched in 10 of the 11 post
offices in Vijayawada covering 173 letter boxes.
