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.
Hon’ble
Minister of Communications, Shri Manoj Sinha launched the redesigned uniform
for postmen/postwomen and MTS in New Delhi in the august presence of Hon’ble
Minister of State (I/C), MSME, Shri Giriraj Singh. The 90,000
postmen/postwomen, Mail Guard, Multi Tasking Staff will get benefited by the
