re-invent post-office.

finally dying post-offices re-inveted themselve to be in biz atleast by providing address verification services to IT industries and mobile service operators!!! why doesn't government sell Indian postal establishment to any private body who can make it one of the largest and finest integrated courier facilities of world ? govenmental postal system can work with city private courier agencies to deliver packages in villages as it will solve my problem to send a courier to my village home as well as government can make some profit if they are so busy to not think of re-energising the dead postal biz. few years ago, Indian railways sytem was on verge of financial bankrupcy but after few strokes of development and good management techniques, it is churning out 10K crores pure profit per year . same positive development can be achieved with postal system if it doesn't loose its focus on its core area of business like postal/package/money delivery rather than doing petty works for other companies.
can we have a postal minister like Lalu Prasad who can make it possible ?

Who created da Indian Postal SErvice. Do you really believe if we had none in 1947, we could have had such railways or NH or even IPostal. No way... these were the sheer need of Britisher that created these services nothing less nothing more...

@ cyber

yes, I do agree with ur point. but the focus of my article is to
re-energise the dying business of governmental postal services. FedEX is doing samething and it is considered as one of the most reputed postal services. Government doesn't realise the true market potential of its traditional business. like Indian Railways, Postal service needs a dynamic leader to make it common man's first choice to send a package anywhere in world.
