The timing of post office should be increased, as people are moving away from the deposits & also attractive deposits have been abolished. Once we go for investment & then at the time of maturity there are many formality & payment made by cheque takes many days of realization, then only we get the certificate. Please give some remedy to it.

1. let postmen also become courier men. dont limit to one department. 2. post 2 relationship managers whose target is to bring subscriptions to post office schemes. they are good but not sold well. 3. tie up with online retailers to deliver goods. currently this is being done by pvt parties. its a huge huge biz. 4.open broadband kiosks in all village post offices. 5. all village post offices must open accounts for everyone in their catchment area thanks

the post man is the one who covers the last mile every day , even in this age of emails. He/she can be of great value in being the guide and implementer of government schemes.For example he can take a census every year and ensure that the girl child is sent to school.

Given the vast network of post offices, need to look into feasibility of linking Digital India program + Aadhar+Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan yojana. These tasks just seem to merge into each other as Post offices also need to maintain databases of people in that area, which is needed by digital India as well as Adhar. In fact, in most rural area Post offices can be served as one stop digitization/information retrieval centres (along with panchayat/collector offices) and extensions of bank networks
