I think the best way of utilising the post office network would be to have kiosk with internet access where a customer can send / assisted to send mail to his/her relatives to the remotest village. The mail can then be accessed at the recipient post office that can take the print out of the email and can be delivered to the local address. The major advantages would be: 1. Reduce the lead time and delivery Cost 2. Leverage the huge postal network across India to reach to the remotest location

A tie-up with the e-commerce companies can, I think, be a profitable option for India Post. The e-commerce websites still doesn't deliver to many places. Even modest products like pens, books etc. are out of reach of some places as it is in my case. I believe that leveraging the vast network of India Post can be a profitable venture for both India Post and the e-commerce companies and more importantly to the Indian economy at large.

The Proposed new Common Services Center can utilize the existing Post Offices as a point of Delivery which could make the utilization of existing resources and tap the human potential in a better way. The widespread postal network could become a crucial juncture to accessing multiple resources from a single point.
