It would be better if PO services are computerized. As of now, everything seems to be functioning in handwritten way, and is very time consuming. Also, if investments in PPF, NSC etc can be made online, it would save a lot of time leading to better productivity.

They should automatize the data collection and utilize it for voting, selling to business that are looking for demography, market survey. Post office can also use online advertisement designing and printing order and deliver the printed material to the defined customer. They can also be used as dedicated route courier service for lawyer, real-estate agent, laboratory service etc. that have daily urgent delivery needs. newspaper delivery and magazine delivery, western union and payday loan etc
