Scindia Inaugurates Renovated Guna Head Post Office in Madhya Pradesh

New Delhi, September 18, 2026: Union Minister for Communications and Development of North Eastern Region Jyotiraditya M. Scindia inaugurated the renovated Guna Head Post Office in Madhya Pradesh on September 17, marking another step towards modernising the country’s postal infrastructure and improving citizen services.

The renovation and improvement of the post office have been carried out at an estimated cost of ₹38 lakh. The upgraded facility has been developed in line with design guidelines issued by the School of Planning and Architecture (SPA), New Delhi, as part of the Department of Posts’ nationwide efforts to modernise post offices.

The revamped Guna Head Post Office now offers an improved environment for people accessing postal and financial services. The upgraded infrastructure is aimed at making services more convenient, accessible and customer-friendly for residents of Guna and nearby areas.

During the inauguration programme, Scindia praised the Department of Posts for its efforts to strengthen and modernise the postal network. He said improved facilities at post offices would help enhance the quality and efficiency of services available to citizens.

The renovated post office has introduced a token-based service system to help customers access different services in an organised manner and avoid crowded queues.

A digital display screen has also been installed to inform customers about service timelines. According to the Ministry, a duplicate passbook can now be issued within one day.

Scindia also highlighted the growing role of digital technology in transforming postal services. Through platforms such as the Dak Sewa and Dak Mitra apps, citizens can access several postal services from their homes, reducing the need for repeated visits to post offices.

The modernisation of the Guna Head Post Office is part of the Department of Posts’ wider efforts to upgrade postal infrastructure, expand digital services and improve the delivery of postal and financial facilities.

With its upgraded infrastructure and technology-enabled services, the Guna Head Post Office is expected to provide more efficient and accessible services to people across the district and surrounding areas.

The initiative reflects the government’s broader focus on creating a modern, digitally enabled and citizen-centric postal network across the country.
