The Indian Postal System plays a significant role in connecting people with their loved ones and is the only way form of communication.  In the past, people are waiting for letters from their family members that lived in cities or villages. The postal system can connect common people by sending wishes, new year, or marriage cards to their family members and close friends throughout the festivals or new year, or any marriage occasions.

Earlier, the postman also helps those people who are illiterate. This global day honors the main contribution of the Indian postal department that played an important role and is still doing it in our country.
