Chandigarh, February 1
Reinforcing the timeless relevance of public institutions and the need to engage meaningfully with the younger generation, Punjab Circle’s second N-Gen themed, revamped Post Office was inaugurated at PGIMER, Sector-12, Chandigarh by Prof. (Dr.) Vivek Lal, Director, PGIMER , in the august presence of senior officers from the Department of Posts and PGIMER.
The inauguration was attended by Dr. Amanpreet Singh, Director Postal Services (HQ), Punjab Circle; Dr. Parveen Kumar Saraswat, Director Postal Services (Region), Punjab Circle; and Shri Satyam Tiwari, Senior Superintendent of Post Offices, Chandigarh Division, along with officers, staff members and students.
Speaking on the occasion, Prof. (Dr.) Vivek Lal highlighted the unmatched credibility and human commitment of India’s postal services and urged the younger generation to draw inspiration from its enduring values, as he stated. “Nothing can match the human face, the human commitment and the human connect that our postal services represent. You may add glamour, technology and speed, but the substance has always been unmatched. Recently, during a conflict in the Middle East, I had to send important communication to Europe, and every single card reached its destination. That is a huge salute to the dedication of our postal services,” he added.
The Director PGIMER further added, “While their contribution often goes unnoticed in today’s fast-paced digital world, they have delivered consistently with quiet dignity. I strongly urge Gen Z to come closer, experience this institution, and imbibe the values of trust, perseverance and service that have made India Post among the best in the world.”
Prof. Lal also appreciated the N-Gen initiative for preserving the soul of the postal system while seamlessly integrating modern technology with youth-friendly design. The initiative is guided by the nationwide vision of the Hon’ble Union Minister of Communications, Jyotiraditya M. Scindia, to reimagine Post Offices as vibrant, technology-enabled, student-centric spaces aligned with the aspirations and energy of N-Gen and Gen Z. Addressing the gathering, Dr. Amanpreet Singh, Director Postal Services (HQ), Punjab Circle, reiterated the Department of Posts’ commitment to evolve with changing times while remaining rooted in service. He said, “The N-Gen Post Office reflects our effort to speak the language of today’s youth while staying true to the core values of India Post—reliability, reach and trust. This space is meant to be used, lived in and owned by students, positioning the Post Office as a relevant and responsive partner in their daily lives.”
