Snail Mail to Speed Mail

In the digital age of mobile phone and internet, the snail mail is still trying its best to stay firm in the country by providing latest services to the population. Most of these facilities are already in service, which are getting an upgrade from the govt. whereas on the other hand the Indian Post has started many services, which would save time and be beneficial to all. Indian Post unveiled a new logo for its services.

"The new logo depicts freedom, a sense of unbound prospects that correctly projects the dramatic shift from the old ways of running the department fettered by bureaucratic structure to the 'customer first' philosophy as practiced in successful, well-run private organizations," Prasad (Chief Post Master General) said.

"We have made several changes in the way the department operates with emphasis on excellent service, customer service, and added convenience," he said.

Indian Post is currently providing services like Speed Post, Logistic Post, Direct Post, e-Payment, Business Post, Media Post, International Money Transfer, Instant Money Order Service (iMO) and ePost.

Speed Post ushered in a new era when 'One India, One Rate' scheme was launched @ Rs 25 for all destinations across India, from Kashmir to Kanyakumari. Now, Speed Post delivers 'Value for money' to every one every where, delivering local Speed Post upto 50 grams @ Rs 12, inclusive of Service Tax.

India Post prvoides Instant Money Order (iMO), the instant on-line money transfer service that gives you speed, mobility, safety and reliability for your money transfer. You can transfer money from Rs.1,000/- to Rs. 50,000/- from designated iMO Post Offices.

ePost Service was launched on 30th January 2004 nationwide. ePost service enables people to send and receive messages or scanned images through email from Post Offices in the country. For the first time in the country, people who would not normally have access to internet would be able to send and receive email messages without possessing an email id thereby bridging the digital divide in the arena of public communication systems. The advent of ePost is a turning point in the transformation of the Department of Posts into a modern, technology driven provider of communication services to the people of India.

People like you and me, wouldn't find these services attractive as we are glued to mobile phones and internet throughout the day, but just think once for the people living in remote villages where electricity and public transport is still a dream.

Thanks and Regards.
