In reply to a question, the Minister said that BharatNet is one of the 9 pillars of realizing the Prime Minister's vision of Digital India.
Sinha added that provision of citizen services is the focus of BharatNet and in the agreement signed today, BSNL is the service provider, that would provide broadband services, the cost of setting up of infrastructure and the operational expenses would be paid by the Department of Posts. Since the BharatNet is the National Network, BBNL would facilitate and coordinate this entire operation. In future, MoUs with other Government Departments is also proposed to be signed.
