Modern technology for Sri Lanka's postal services
Sri Lanka Postal Department sources say that only twenty percent of the country’s 547 main post offices and 3400 smaller post offices are operating at a profit. Therefore the Department has to depend on the nearly Rs. 1.8 billion received annually from the Treasury.
The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunication is going to recruit 1507 staff for next year in order to enhance the services of the Postal Department.
The Ministry has also planned to obtain modern technology from Japan and the Philippines to uplift the standards of the postal sector. The Department intends to develop the sectors of money order transactions, mail delivery, and telegrams with the modern technology.
