Earlier Postal savings were very attractive, Kisan Vikas Patra was one time hit investment. Can plan some schemes to attract every citizen of india, which can bring lots of fund and can be used for infrastructure, instead of PPP, let postal dept become partner and share profits and become profit making node for govt.

Every Post Office should have Passport Processing Centers. They just need to ensure that proper Documents are submitted and forwarded to Passport Office for a minimal fee.

Payment of bills is facilitated by postal Department. however if entire/all Government Offices Bills and payments can be made through Post offices it would benefit both the Post office as well as Government

in good number of Post offices a SEPRATE COUNTER IS KEPT FOR SALE OF STAMPS AND THER EIS NOT MUCH RUSH AT THAT COUNTER. IF THE SAID COUNTER CAN BE CONVERTED INTO FULL FLEDGED COUNTER THEN IT WILL SAVE THE TIME ENERGY AND EFFORT OF PUBLIC. also at large post offices 2-4 counter are kept for sale of stamps which can be reduced to 1-2

Post offices ACTS AS BANK IN MANY AREAS. if banking facility is combined with postoffices in rural area it will perform dual function of Banking and early receipt of letter in remote areas

Now adays post office service are too expensive. people depends courier services. In post offices employees behaviour are too rude, if a person wants an inland or stamps , they are supress to wait long times. Employees should behave politely.Reduce the charge rate of registration , Money order. .Encourage people to write letter through inlands.More E service provide through post offices in a nominial fee rates.Permit Film purposes CD'd and DVD's to send foriegn countries in small fee rates.

Speed post is doing excellent job. But other courier Agencies walk away with much more volumes simply by having much much more collection centres. Why can't Post Dept. replicate this?
