Hello Friends, I'm residing in Germany since past 4 years. I would like to share a profitable use of the post office reach. Here in Germany it is a law for private companies dealing with money to ensure that its clients are identified in person. For example a credit card company (American express), or a foreign exchange services company (ICIC money2india) etc. So these company make use of the POST-IDENT servies from the Deutsche post. https://www.deutschepost.de/de/p/postident/vergleich_postide

Our post office network has reach upto most hinterland villages where private courier services shy away to provide their services for commercial reasons. The task force should focus on garnering revenue from these untapped avenues with the established old network. Yes, quality of service must be maintained for success. Our speed post service is presently a second choice because of its inefficiency.

Branch offices should be upgraded. If possible the private companies should also have a permission to start the post offices.

In India,post should start around 7am.the local youth should work on part time basis till 10am.the regular staff will start.After 5 pm again third shift for the post office till 10 night.This way The rural areas youth will get an opportunity instead of sit idle at home.

Basically to introduce the modern equipement ,barcode system,instead of ticket use barcode only.since small rural areas the postoffices should give an opportunity to the locals id they would like to work particularly retired people on contract basis.This way work load will be lesser and effectively.

every letter (including General post) should be Bar Coded which can be tracked. Tracking Message should be sent to both Recipient and sender's mobile number. this can be achieved by involving telecome companies. Post office delivery time should be increased by 1-2 hours more. after1:00 PM item can not be booked by Speed post/registered post except head post offices so this time should be increased by few hours. 24 hours working post offices (in numbers) should be increased.

today 29-9-14 i went to post office for collecting Employment Newspaper; which is subscribed by me. so there I saw that lots of post/envelopes are dumping by the post mens by marking Invalid Address while those letters came from some companies/banks etc. those letter may have much more importance for the recipient but not delivering by the post mens. so every letter (including General Post )should be BAR CODED so that it can be tracked & messages should be sent at mobile of recipient & sender's.
