Rajasthan becomes the first state in the country to offer free email addresses to its residents in Hindi.
The first email id that was created was for the chief minister Vasundhara Raje .
The project has been implemented by the state IT department in collaboration in the form of in-sourcing with private IT companies.
This e-mail is small part of the bigger picture ‘Rajasthan DigiKit’ which has an enrolment of more than one crore people.
In December 2016, state-run BSNL had launched e-mail address service in eight Indian languages for its broadband users by launching a ‘DataMail’ service.
However, unlike BSNL, the Hindi email offered by Rajasthan government is for all the Internet users.
