Rajasthan becomes India’s first state to offer free e-mail address in Hindi to its residents

Rajasthan has become the India’s first state to offer free e-mail address in Hindi to its residents. The facility —[email protected] (in Devanagari script) — will lead to millions of new users who are not comfortable with English e-mail ids. The purpose of the initiative is to ensure maximum participation of people towards e-governance and that maximum facilities are available in the vernacular language. The first e-mail ID that was created was that of the chief minister, [email protected] (in Devnagari). All the government personnel in the state will soon have an email id in Hindi too.
