Meanwhile speaking at the event, Minister Karki said the ministry was ready to develop the postal service as community service centre at a time when the oldest postal service is gradually losing its charm due to the emergence of modern types of information technologies.


He also said the government would revive all public organizations that are becoming dysfunctional gradually, with government investment.


Also on the occasion, Information Secretary Dinesh Kumar Thapaliya stressed the need for expanding postal service up to village level.


Director General of the department Suresh Adhikari said the department has issued the total 163 types of postage stamps so far. RSS
