    World Post Day was first celebrated in 1969 at the UPU Congress in Tokyo, Japan. It was submitted by an Indian delegation named, Shri Anand Mohan Narula and since then, World Post Day has been celebrated all over the world in order to spotlight the importance of postal services.

    Every year, the UPU’s 192 member countries celebrate World Post Day to mark the importance of universal mail and the UPU’s contributions to society and the global economy. Countries hold special stamp exhibitions and launch new postal initiatives. India hosts a week-long celebration each year over the week of October 9. As a testament to bringing people together, the UPU hosts an International Letter Writing competition for children up to age 15. Winners are selected from each country and the world champion is selected by a UPU panel. Not only does the program promote literacy, but it keeps the excitement of waiting for the mail alive and well.

    How is World Postal Day Celebrated

    Whether it’s a gift purchased online, a letter, or a postcard, sending mail is a great way to celebrate this day. Read up about what the Universal Postal Union is all about and share the information with your friends.

    If you have a local mailman who delivers mail to your house, thank them for their services. Talk about which mailing service you trust the most, talk to people about what people in the postal services do for a living, and share this information with everyone you know.

    World Postal Day 2025 Theme

    The theme for World Post Day 2025 – “#PostForPeople: Local Service. Global Reach,” emphasizes the enduring and evolving relevance of the postal sector in a digitally connected world. It serves as a call to action and a moment of recognition, focusing on the human element that drives global connectivity.

    Key Aspects of the Theme’s Significance:

    • Highlighting Social and Economic Inclusion: The phrase “Local Service” reinforces the crucial role of the post office as a foundational infrastructure in communities. In many remote or underserved areas, the post office is often the only physical public access point for essential services like financial transactions (micro-finance, bill payments), government programs, and communication, thus helping to bridge the digital and urban-rural divides.
    • Recognizing the Global Trade Enabler: The “Global Reach” component acknowledges the postal network’s essential function in the modern global economy, especially for e-commerce. It highlights how the postal service facilitates international trade, logistics, and the delivery of goods from small local businesses to customers across the world.
    • Celebrating Postal Workers: The use of “#PostForPeople” centers the campaign on the 4.6 million postal workers globally. It is an appreciation for the dedication, resilience, and hard work of the individuals who form the largest physical delivery network in the world, ensuring mail and vital services reach their destination despite challenging conditions.
    • Encouraging Modernization and Innovation: By focusing on the post’s dual role, the theme encourages member countries of the Universal Postal Union (UPU) to continue modernizing their services. This includes integrating digital tools for tracking, enhancing cross-border partnerships, and expanding citizen-centric services like mobile banking and digital identity verification within the local post office framework.
    • Reinforcing the UPU’s Mission: The theme aligns with the UPU’s mission to promote a strong, sustainable postal sector worldwide. It reminds governments, businesses, and the public that the postal service is not just about letters, but about delivering essential services, opportunity, and trust on a global scale.

    National Postal Day In India

    National Post Day is celebrated on October 10 every year and it is an extension of World Post Day, which is celebrated on  October 9. National Post Day is celebrated to mark the role played by the Indian postal department in over 150 years.

    Indian postal service
    The postal service was introduced in India by the British. It was founded in 1854 by Lord Dalhousie. Currently, it functions under the Ministry of Communications and is the most widely distributed postal system in the world. The post office delivers mails, remits money in the form of money orders (which is the only way of sending money for many Indians). They also run small savings schemes, provide life insurance coverage under Postal Life Insurance and Rural Postal Life Insurance. It also plays an important role in discharging government services such as the payment of pensions to senior and retired citizens. Wages under MGNREGA are also distributed through post offices. India has 23 postal circles and 9 postal zones including Army Post Office. Post offices in Indian follow a 6-digit PIN Code system, which was introduced in India in 1972.

    World Postal Day Facts

    • It receives no help from Uncle Sam

    • It has ancient English origins

    Why We Love World Postal Day

    • It reminds us to stay in touch

    John Lennon once sang that “life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.” And in the hustle-and-bustle world, it’s good to take the time to reach out to those we love. The postal service lets us do that — quickly, efficiently, and for a good price, too!

    • Postal workers deserve recognition

    Although the U.S. Postal Service has no official motto, it is often associated with a quote from the Ancient Greek historian Herodotus: “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.” The quote is a fitting tribute to postal workers the world over who are tasked with delivering our most precious correspondence.

    • There’s nothing like getting a letter or a postcard

    Sure, most of us communicate via the internet these days. But there’s just something extra special about opening the mailbox to find a handwritten note from someone far away.
