India Post serves nearly 20 lakh Cheyutha pension beneficiaries every month in Telangana, using its extensive postal network to deliver pension-related services and improve access to financial services. Chief Postmaster General of Telangana Circle D.S.V.R. Murthy highlighted the department’s reach and digital initiatives during a press conference at Dak Sadan in Hyderabad on October 9, marking World Post Day. He said the department was working to strengthen citizen-focused services by combining technological improvements with its established physical infrastructure.

Murthy said India Post was observing National Postal Week from October 9 to 15 under the theme “One Postal Network, Infinite Possibilities”. The campaign reflects the department’s efforts to modernise its operations while continuing to serve communities through its widespread network. The initiative places emphasis on the role of postal services in connecting people, facilitating financial transactions and providing essential services across different regions.

Telangana Circle operates through 36 Head Post Offices, 759 Sub Post Offices and 5,424 Branch Post Offices, according to the figures shared by Murthy. This network provides the department with an extensive presence across the State, including areas where access to conventional banking and other services may be limited. Its branch-level reach also supports the delivery of government-related services to beneficiaries and residents in different parts of Telangana.

The postal circle is supported by 6,514 departmental employees and 10,623 Gramin Dak Sevaks. This workforce forms a key part of its service delivery system, helping the department maintain operations across its offices and reach people at the local level. The combination of departmental staff, rural postal workers and physical infrastructure enables India Post to continue providing services while expanding the use of technology in its operations.

The monthly service to nearly 20 lakh Cheyutha pension beneficiaries highlights the role of India Post in supporting the delivery of welfare benefits in Telangana. The department’s wider focus on financial inclusion and digital services is intended to make essential transactions and public services more accessible. Its extensive network provides an established channel for reaching beneficiaries, particularly those who depend on local postal facilities for assistance with government-linked services.

National Postal Week will continue until October 15, with the theme highlighting the department’s evolving role in a technology-driven environment. Murthy’s remarks underscored the importance of retaining the reach of traditional postal infrastructure while strengthening digital capabilities. The department’s stated priorities include improving service delivery, extending financial inclusion and using technological innovations to meet the changing needs of citizens across Telangana.
