functioning from the serene Campus of Postal Training Centre, Mysore has come of

in the way things are done or need to be done. The Department of Posts is not an

Development Centre of PTC, Mysore. Today Meghdoot software is one of the most precious
technology tool offered by CEPT to the Post Offices across the country. Meghdoot
is perhaps an unparallel and un-precedented example of successful IT intervention

The success of this technology endeavor was purely based on the fact that Meghdoot
was our own product developed by our own personnel. This facilitated acceptance
and internalization of the software by the entire Postal operation system easily.
Hence, what began as a small initiative way back in 1996-98 necessitated a need
