According to Union Minister of Communications, Jyotiraditya Scindia, the objective is to make post offices vibrant and attractive for youth.
Students Played a Key Role
IIT Delhi students actively contributed to the creative design and artwork of this post office. The Fine Arts Society added artistic elements to the walls and interiors of the post office. India Post Department ensured student participation in this initiative by making them brand ambassadors, design co-creators, and collaborators in social media outreach.
Additionally, a student franchise model has been launched at IIT Delhi, providing students with the opportunity to gain practical experience in post office operations and promote entrepreneurship. This model will also benefit students by allowing them to learn management and business skills.

The objective of this initiative is not limited to IIT Delhi alone.
