NEW DELHI, APR 29, 2025: Minister of Communications and Development of North Eastern Regions, Jyotiraditya M. Scindia, announced the publication of the gazette notification regarding 'Gyan Post', a new service to make the delivery of educational, social, cultural, and religious books more affordable across India. This service reflects India Post's continued commitment to supporting education and reaching learners in every part of the country.

Education is the foundation of a stronger future, but access to learning resources should not depend on geography or affordability. 'Gyan Post' has been created with this belief at its heart to ensure that a textbook, a preparation guide, or a cultural book can travel the last mile, reaching even the most remote village or town.

Speaking on the occasion, the Hon'ble Minister of Communications and Development of North Eastern Regions, Jyotiraditya M Scindia said, "Under the new education policy and syllabus, "Gyan Post" serves as a vital delivery mechanism for ensuring that education reaches every individual."

Designed to support learning and knowledge-sharing, 'Gyan Post' offers affordable options for sending books and printed educational materials through India's vast postal network. The service is priced to encourage wider access.

Books and printed educational materials sent under 'Gyan Post' will be trackable and transported through surface mode to ensure cost-effective delivery. The packages can be sent at highly affordable rates, starting from only ?20 for packets up to 300 grams and maximum of  ?100 for packets up to 5 kilograms (taxes as applicable).

Only non-commercial, educational material will be eligible under 'Gyan Post'. Publications of a business or commercial nature, or containing advertisements (other than incidental announcements or book lists), will not be accepted under this service. Each book must carry the name of the printer or publisher as per prescribed conditions.

Through 'Gyan Post', India Post reaffirms its enduring commitment to public service, helping bridge the education gap, one book at a time. By making learning resources more accessible and affordable, India Post continues its legacy of empowering individuals and communities across the nation.

The 'Gyan Post' service will be operational at all departmental post offices across India from 1st May, 2025. Further details are available at the nearest post office or online at www.indiapost.gov.in.
