Mumbai, Dec. 17 -- India Post is set to inaugurate the city's first-ever Gen Z-themed post office at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay campus on December 18. The new-age post office will have facilities like free Wi-Fi, a cafeteria-style sitting area, a mini library, a dedicated music corner, curated philately merchandise for lovers of stamps, and other facilities to attract youngsters. Chief postmaster general of Maharashtra and Goa, Amitabh Singh, said, "By reimagining the post office as a vibrant community hub, India Post aims to bridge heritage with innovation, ensuring postal services remain relevant, engaging, and accessible to the next generation." According to Singh similar Gen Z post offices have already been successfully launched at institutions such as IITs and IIMs in Delhi, as well as campuses in Kerala, Gujarat, Bihar, and Andhra Pradesh. "This post office will help change the perception of post offices among young people," Singh said. "With its cool, swanky, and youth-centric look and feel, it reflects a significant shift in public service delivery." He added that the interiors were conceptualised and developed by India Post's in-house team in close coordination with IIT Bombay students, blending creativity, functionality, and technology. The Gen Z post office will also offer information about parcels, digital delivery, Aadhaar enrolment, and the post office savings bank (POSB) schemes. Singh added that customers using this post office will receive a 10% discount on speed post services and a 5% discount on bulk parcel bookings. Amid IIT-B's recent initiatives is also a new dining hall in Hostel 4, now the institute's largest-capacity dining facility with a capacity for 800 students. This comes at a time when Hostel 4 is undergoing reconstruction as part of a project supported by a donation from Pramod Chaudhari, founder and chairman of Praj Industries Limited, who lived in the hostel during his undergraduate years. Speaking at the inauguration, Chaudhari said the dining hall represents a space for community and camaraderie. "I still remember the meals, the warmth of the staff, and the countless conversations with friends and batchmates," he said....
