PO are backbones & should be harnessed for last mile a)financial connectivity b) delivery of services and goods. Invest in PO network (increase branches), infrastructure (technology, issue cycles/TVS mopeds) & people (training). Involve professional IT Companies like TCS. eg- Passport Seva Kendra of Pune is a burgeoning example (done by TCS). Once PO’s are connected, it will store data of people staying in the locality along with their AADHAR Card nos. Transfer govt. social welfare schemes to

Post man is the nearest governmental person to interact with the society. Post offices should be made nodal centers for all the preliminary government society interaction. Free computers for web interaction, e-mail id for the needy, distribution of photo id cards, preliminary registrations through post office can be made compulsory. The post office network is vast & is lying idle

Post offices in rural areas should tie up with e-commerce companies and facilitate both ordering and delivery of products. Remote villages get access to the products which would be difficult for them to buy otherwise.

डाक विभाग को हमें 3 तरह के डाक के हिसाब से विभाजित करना चाहिए, पहला अंतर्राष्ट्रीय, दूसरा राष्ट्रिय और तीसरा राज्यीय. सबसे पहली प्राथमिकता, अन्तराष्ट्रीय को फिर राष्ट्रिय को और फिर राज्यीय को. इसमें हम वर्तमान प्रक्रिया लागु कर सकते है, स्पीड पोस्ट वाली डाक को हम 3 कार्यकारी दिवस में पंहुचा देवे तथा दूसरी डाक को 5 कार्यकारी दिवस में. किसी भी प्रकार का प्रश्न हो तो कमेन्ट में लिखिए.. धन्यवाद.

Previously all postman were having a rapport with all their customers. They know all members in their locality where they delivered posts. Now there is no such atmosphere. As the residential areas have grown up they struggle to cover the whole area with less staffs. Many branches with mordern amenities must be opened according to the population and area size. Beats must be increased for the quick and prompt delivery of all posts.This will attract many customers and they will come to Post Office

The reach of post office is more than any other bank present in India. If this fact is capitalized properly than post office can become one of the leading service providing and job creator institution. the govt can transform post office into a more functioning bank.2) the govt. can allow foreign/public investments to upgrade its infrastructure. Lastly aadhar and PAN could be linked to post office so that direct subsidies could be delivered.

Post Offices can be converted in to "eMitra", where common people can go & get any government related work done online with a nominal fee. In that way, the government services would be available to common man easily & post offices can be utilized effectively. The post offices need to be equipped with fast internet, scanners, printers & camera to provide these services. Thanks Sanjay
