About India Post Office
India Post, also known as the Post Office, is India’s government-operated postal system under the Ministry of Communications. It holds the distinction of being the most widely distributed postal system globally. The inception of the postal service dates back to 1766 when Warren Hastings, under the East India Company, initiated the Company Mail. Subsequently, in 1854, under the administration of Lord Dalhousie, it was reorganized into a service under the Crown. Dalhousie’s reforms included the introduction of uniform postage rates and the passage of the India Post Office Act 1854, which established the position of Director General of Post for the entire country.
