In a significant move to bolster telecom security and empower citizens, Union Minister of Communications, Jyotiraditya Scindia, launched the Sanchar Saathi Mobile App on January 17, 2025. This user-friendly platform aims to provide essential tools for securing telecom resources and combating fraud.
Key Features of the Sanchar Saathi App:
Chakshu – Reporting Suspected Fraud Communications (SFC): Users can report suspected fraudulent calls and SMS messages directly from their mobile phone logs.
Know Mobile Connections in Your Name: Citizens can identify and manage all mobile connections issued in their name, ensuring no unauthorized usage.
Blocking Lost or Stolen Mobile Handsets: Lost or stolen mobile devices can be swiftly blocked, traced, and recovered.
Know Mobile Handset Genuineness: The app offers an easy way to verify the authenticity of mobile handsets, ensuring users purchase genuine devices.
The Sanchar Saathi Mobile App is available for both Android and iOS platforms, aiming to ensure that every individual has access to these vital services with just a few taps on their smartphone.
In addition to the app launch, Minister Scindia unveiled the National Broadband Mission (NBM) 2.0, building upon the success of NBM 1.0, which established nearly 8 lakh towers. The primary objective of NBM 2.0 is to connect the remaining 1.7 lakh villages across the country and achieve ambitious milestones, including ensuring that at least 60 out of every 100 rural households have access to broadband connectivity and achieving a minimum fixed broadband download speed of 100 Mbps, thereby creating a robust digital infrastructure for rural India.
Furthermore, the Minister inaugurated the Intra Circle Roaming (ICR) facility at Digital Bharat Nidhi (DBN) funded 4G mobile sites. This initiative allows telecom service providers to leverage each other's infrastructure at all DBN-funded sites, ensuring connectivity and providing customers across the country with the freedom of choice.
These initiatives reflect the government's commitment to enhancing telecom services and security in India, ensuring infrastructure development, quality of service, and effective complaint redressal.
