It was Lord Dalhousie who founded India Post in the year 1854.   National Post Day 2023 The World Post Day is an international day that is celebrated each year on October 9, the anniversary of the Universal Postal Union (UPU), which started in 1874 in Switzerland. These early postal systems were the start of the global communications revolution, introducing the ability to send / receive letters to / from others all over the world.  My contemporaries belong to a generation that heavily depended on the Postal Department for our communication.
