India Post to launch own e-commerce portal like Amazon or eBay
Directly stepping into the cyber world, India post is going to launch its own e-commerce portal in the shape of those like Amazon or eBay soon. The aggressive step of India Post, world's largest postal service, is a part of its massive IT based modernization initiative worth Rs 5,000 crore.
"At planning and designing phase now, the final rollover of the dedicated postal e-commerce portal may take another 6 months. But we are excited about this new avatar in our service basket," Mr. John Samuel, member of Postal Services Board told ET.
As he describes, the portal will be like popular e-commerce entities like Amazon or eBay. A conduit between buyers and sellers. But, it is not going to be entirely open for any item to be traded by anyone. Rather a moderated and scrutinized list will be followed. Local specialties like Tea from Darjeeling, Mango from Malda in West Bengal or Saffron from Kashmir will have emphasize in that.
India Post is Tying up with different controlling authorities like Spices Board, Tea Board, or cashew Board to ensure 'quality trading of quality items only'- as Mr. Samuel puts it.
In addition to the physical products, services of different public sector are also being planned to be included into the tradable items of the portal.
"Wide and fast growing coverage of Internet through computer and mobile phones are bringing more and more people from even remote corners to the doorsteps of e-commerce. There lies our new opportunity. Moreover delivery of the items is a major issue for all e-commerce authorities. Here also India post excel's with its 1.5 lakh establishments and time tested connectivity network," he said.
In one hand we have Rs 4909 crore worth IT related infrastructure modernization plan and on the other hand, we are spending another Rs 2000 crore to have new vehicles to ensure faster delivery.
Indeed it is a new step to a new world that can give new life to financially crunched Indiapost. But, "We need to bring change in our own attitude at certain corners to churn out the best out of this initiative," accepted Mr. Samuel.

HASTHAMPATTI Sub Post Office is the only Post Office where the Father of Our Nation MAHATMA GANDHIJI stayed on 14.02.1934.
HASTHAMPATTI HSG I POST OFFICE , Tamilnadu State
A MARK OF PRIDE
We, the staff of Hasthampatti Sub Post Office feel proud in working at this SO because of the fact - this Sub Office is the only Post Office where the Father of Our Nation MAHATMA GANDHIJI stayed on 14.02.1934 during his visit to Salem. At that time this building was owned by the Landlord Shri. V.NATESANPANDARAM where BAPUJI stayed as guest.
P&T Department acquired this building for Hasthampatti Post Office and opened a museum at this PO on 30.01.1997 in memory of Mahatma Gandhiji’s stayal at this building. In serene atmosphere, the room in which Gandhiji stayed is converted as Mahatma Gandhi Philately Museum which creates positive vibrations and echoing the ideals of Gandhiji. The Easy Chair, Khadi Spinning Wheel (Chakra) and materials used by Mahatma are adorned as treasure in this shrine which gives the feel of living Mahatma. The cancellation dated 30.01.1997 depicts Spinning Wheel (Chakra) and text ‘Bapu’ in Tamil and Hindi. Philatelic stamps, first day covers, stationery issued by India as well as other countries are in display.
Rare collections of Photos and thought provoking slogans displayed are highly impressive and pave the way to lead an excellent life with Ahimsa by utmost discipline.
While entering the museum we feel as if we are living with Gandhiji and speaking with him which churns inner feelings. Where is Rama there is Ayothi. Likewise Gandhiji’s stayal made this Hasthampatti Post Office as Porbandhar. Though very small, the status of the contents are very high and holy. School children visit this Museum with eager where they understand the life of Gandhiji is a Message to Mankind.
Bapuji’s saying “Customer is our Boss’ is apt slogan for every walk of our official career.
It is the special wonder of the world, NONE but only one Simplest Mahatma Gandhiji conquered the Rich Rulers and hearts of entire world by patience, perseverance and Ahimsa.
