The 100th N-Gen Post Office in India was inaugurated at North-Eastern Hill University (NEHU) in Shillong, Meghalaya, by Union Minister for Communications Shri Jyotiraditya M. Scindia on May 6, 2026. N-Gen Post Offices are modern postal hubs designed mainly for youth and students within educational institutions. These facilities provide services such as free Wi-Fi, QR-based payment systems, concessional parcel services, and dedicated student service counters. The Shillong branch is unique because it is operated entirely by women staff and incorporates eco-friendly local materials like bamboo and straw, reflecting sustainability and community participation in its design and development.
