The Post Office of India and Its Story

A detailed institutional history traces the development and organization of the country's postal service from fragmented provincial arrangements to a centralized department, explaining administrative structures, regional divisions, and the hierarchy of head, sub and branch offices and agencies. It describes services and operations — parcel post, railway mail, money orders, savings bank, sea and field post offices — wartime postal efforts, and stamp issues, and includes chapters on buildings, personnel, regulations, routes, and statistical appendices to illustrate practical functioning and reforms.
