Indian postal service is the most widely distributed postal system in the world. The postal service is under the Department of Posts, which is part of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology of the Government of India. As of 31 March 2011, the Indian Postal Service had 154,866 post offices, of which 139,040 (89.78 percent) were in rural areas and 15,826 (10.22 percent) in urban areas. It had 25,464 departmental Post Offices and 129,402 Extra-Departmental Branch Post Offices. On average, a post office serves an area of 21.23 square kms (8.20 sq mi) and a population of 7,114; It is true that 90% of India Post’s post offices, nearly 140,000 of them, are located in rural India which are barely serviced by private logistics providers who prefer to operate in urban centers.
