When the above investigation was gathering momentum I
received orders to join an international team of UPU trainees
from China,Bangladesh,Malaysia and Pakistan. A s per the
schedule the UPU consultant would expose us to postal
administrations in Thailand, Pakistan and India. There was
nothing much new learned except to state that Indian postal
administration was far more advanced.

A blue print for Scientific mail management:

It was H Hyderabad which lent itself for conducting
experiments at rationalizing statistical analysis, computerising
booking of registered letters and money orders, etc. It was the
practice to prescribe new mail bags for any localities based on
the traffic observed on a particular day of visit of officers from
directorate. So I asked my staff to evolve a pattern of collecting
statistics of mail processed and bundled or bagged depending
on volume to particular destinations ,ie,outward mail rather than
count the incoming mail in various bags and bundles to justify
direct bags. This procedure called by my staff a matrix method
was found to be more rational and scientific. I prepared a report
accompanied by facts and figures collected during a recent
survey of mails in Hyderabad sorting office. When this report
was perused by my senior in mail operations in the headquarters
he appreciated the same and approved it and also
recommended this new method to be adopted all over the
department and apprised the Director General of the same. At
this point of time a Heads of Circle Conference on postal and
mail operations was being convened. The DG who perused my
report on Statistical analysis of mails decided that as an
exception Director (Mails and Stores) in Andhra Circle
should also participate and present paper on the subject. After
the conference was over my procedure on statistical collection
and analysis was incorporated as departmental procedure for
uniform adoption .I was lucky to obtain foreword from the czar
of mail management Sri.S.B.Velankar to my departmental
publication entitled “Blue print of Scientific Mail

Management”.
