THRUST ON TURNAROUND

India has the largest postal network in the world. However, in recent years, growing access to inexpensive telephone systems, and options such as e-mail, have reduced popular dependence on the system — and sent the Department of Posts into the red.

COMPUTERS AND INTERNET FACILITIES IN POST OFFICES
