New Dress for Postmen / MTS launched by Shri Manoj Sinha
The
Department of Posts has redesigned the uniform for Postmen (both male and
female) and MTS cadre in consultation with National Institute of Fashion
Technology, Delhi (NIFT). The uniform has been redesigned keeping in view the
functionality, comfort and durability. The uniform will provide a strong brand
identity of the Department of Posts as it provides for easy identification of
postmen staff.
The
Department enjoys credibility and respect through the field operatives that is
the postmen. He is the face of the Department as he delivers letters and
parcels to every door. Therefore, it is important that the uniform he wears,
which identifies him with the Department should be such that he stands out.
Khadi being indigenous to our culture and comfortable in all climatic zones of
the country was found suitable for the postmen.
As
per the recommendation of 7th CPC, the Government has decided to provide Rs.
5,000/- as dress allowance per year. Khadi and Village Industries Commission
(KVIC) under the Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises has agreed
to provide dresses for the postmen from its outlets in each district of the
country. The Postmen can purchase dresses from outlets of KVIC from the dress
allowances provided to them.

Gujarat Postal Circle won the 31st All India Postal Cricket Tournament.
On
20th January 2018, nineteen postal circles teams turned out to enjoy All India
Postal Tournament on beautiful lush green cricket ground of Postal Training
Centre, Vadodara, Gujarat. The tournament was inaugurated by Shri Dashrath
Pardeshi, former Ranji Trophy player of Gujarat and Vadodara teams. The goal
was to promote sportsman spirit, friendship and team spirit among the staff of
various postal circles in India
Friendly
yet competitive cricket matches were played between the teams. All the matches
were played in noisy and cheerful atmosphere. The competition, the excitement
of the game, and the liveliness and spontaneous actions of the supporters was
noteworthy throughout the tournament.
After
finishing all knocks out matches, quarter finals and semifinals, the grand
final match was played between Gujarat Postal Circle team and West Bengal
Postal Circle team on 24th January 2018 at Postal Training Centre ground
Vadodara.
Gujarat
won the toss and elected to field first. The starting was not good for West
Bengal team. The Gujarat fast bowlers have troubled the West Bengal batsmen
right from the outset as they sent back Tirth Roay and Sougata Datta in quick
succession. The batting conditions were difficult at the middle and the
visitors were struggling. However, after the initial onslaught, the batting duo
of West Bengal skipper P.S. Bhattachary (32 runs from 65 balls) Surojit Dass
(40 runs from 41 balls) have steadied their ship. Finally they managed to get
157 runs in 37.5 overs.
Chasing
157 was never going to be easy and once Gujarat lost three wickets in the power
play it was always going to be an uphill task. Chirag Jani who has been their
best player in this tournament once again was the only player who showed
resistance to battle it out there. Jesal Karia and Mehul Patel did provide
support but the West Bengal bowling was too hot to handle. Both teams had the
chance to win and the game was changing in every few minutes. The last 10
minutes were breathless and extremely exciting and finally the team Gujarat
crossed the line and became the champion of All India Postal Cricket Tournament
2017-18.
In
prize distribution ceremony, Hon’ble Chief Postmaster General of Gujarat
Circle, Shri. Gautam Bhattacharya had given trophies and medals to
the Champion in the presence of various dignitaries. Shri Vineet Mathur,
Postmaster General, Vadodara Region and Shri Ambesh Upmanyu,
Postmaster General, Ahmedabad Region had given trophies and medals to the
first and second runners-up teams (West Bengal and Odisha). On this occasion
Hon’ble CPMG addressed all the staff members and players and explained how
sports can bring out fitness and which in turn can help in productive office
work. At last he congratulated the Director and all team members of Postal
Training Centre, Vadodara for arranging such a wonderful cricket tournament.
IPPB to Link Existing Post Office Savings Bank Accounts (POSB)
New
Delhi: India Post Payments Bank (IPPB) will press into service postmen equipped
with smartphones to go door to door and will open 3,250 customer access points
across 650 districts when it launches operations in March, seeking to cater
largely to under-banked rural areas.
The
bank will leverage the 155,000 technologically upgraded post offices, of which
129,000 are in rural areas, as well as the existing customer base of India
Post, Anant Narayan Nanda, Secretary, Department of Posts, and Chairman of
IPPB, said in an interview.
A
special dispensation from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will enable the
payments bank to link accounts of existing post office savings bank customers
and let them access both on the same screen and perform transactions. According
to Nanda, this will give a huge fillip to existing customers. India Post has
around 170 million savings bank accounts.
“By
December 2018, 2 lakh postmen and gramin dak sewaks carrying mobile phones will
offer doorstep banking to customers predominantly in rural areas. Eventually,
this number will increase to 3.5 lakh,” Nanda said.
The
bank plans to start with 3,250 access points—five each in 650 districts—and
scale up the number every month. It will employ 3,000 people—roughly half the
staff will be on deputation from state-run banks and India Post.
The
bank is in the process of training postmen to carry out basic banking
facilities such as opening bank accounts and conducting transactions on the
mobile phone. Besides assisting customers, the postmen will also teach them how
to perform transactions on their own. They will receive monetary incentives for
both assisted and eventually self-service transactions.
Customers
will be able to access a range of services including net banking, National
Electronic Funds Transfer (NEFT), Real-time Gross Settlement (RTGS) and
Immediate Payment Service (IMPS). They will be able to pay utility bills,
invest in mutual funds and buy insurance products on the app.
The
gramin dak sevaks and postmen will be trained by banking institutions. An
internal survey by the department showed that between 70% and 80% of postmen
use smartphones for personal use and are active on social networking sites and
should be able to use the app with ease, Nanda said.
At
present, the post office accepts payments of around Rs46,000 crore in cash
every year. With the entire network moving towards accepting digital payments,
a significant portion of this amount could be handled by the banking network,
an indication of the potential available for business.
IPPB
is 100% owned by India Post; it received a payments bank license from RBI in
January 2017 and has begun operations on a pilot basis in Jharkhand and
Chhattisgarh.
India
has three other operational payment banks—Airtel Payments Bank, Paytm Payments
Bank and Fino Payments Bank.
“India
Post does have the largest reach in the rural parts of the country and the idea
of financial inclusion through postmen seems very promising,” said Ashish
Aggarwal, a consultant at the National Institute of Public Finance and Policy.
“However, the execution has to be well done to have mass impact. The postmen
need to be well-trained and equipped as even basic banking involves much more
than delivering courier (packages) and letters,” he added.
