For delivering various Citizen centric services and furthering the reach of Financial Services including Insurance, the Government of India has set up a Task Force to examine and ...
In the Postal clerical level, there is absence of restful phases in life, relaxation, etc...The postal clerical work is mostly repetitive, quantitative, and even tiresome at times. But, the direct recruit I.A.S.officers do enjoy a lot of respect, official powers, etc., whereas, the bottom level or postal clerical level staff have to face many adverse working conditions like frequent power cuts, problems in computer hardware and softwares.
I would like to stress here that the ancient English saying, All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, is quite true when it is applied to Postal clerical employees. In the recent times, the number of Postal clerical employees proceeding on Boluntary Retirement has been on the rise, due to constant work pressure, electronic surveillance of daily clerical duties by the deployment of Intenet, lack of motivation, both financially and emotionally.
I am proud that our Postal Service was the backbone for our development and cannot let it go at any given time. Let us think of innovative solution where our postal service can act as a national courier service with such a big reach. With such low cost.It can beat the pvt.courier players and give upright competitions and give a run for their money.Let us have Postal services acts as a micro financing firm under Mudra bank and reach out for the needy and have the rise of the INDIA POST AGAIN.

postal services are guided by the british times and a lot has changed since then. like telegram even the money orders and post cards are not relevant in the time of sms,e-mails and other digital means. the government can save a lot of money by discontinuing these and providing other means of commuting. also the stamping on the post are still illegible as before. efforts should be made to improve this.
In India, online retail market is at a roll. It is growing at an exponential rate. Thousands of people in India are buying stuff from online portal such as Flipkart, Snapdeal, Jabong.com, etc. Indian online retailers hire their own delivery boys and professional courier services to deliver the products. These online retailers never use services of India Post – Indian postal service. For detailed idea, see attached PDF.
Under the brand name of modernisation and computerisation, new changes in the working softwares ( like introduction of Finacle and McCamish) have come to stay. This brings the postal employees to be exposed to new working knowledge, and certain senior employees naturally find it a bit difficult to assimilate the new methodologies. This seems inevitable in any modern organisation.
Due to the electronic surveillance by the higher authorities through the medium of Internet, all the clerical works performed in all INDIAN post offices have become highly porous and transparent for the higher officers. This naturally increases the psychological stress of the working clerical employees. This is one of the bad side effects of computerisation, amidst the hidden benefits associated with modernisation.
The modern post offices in India handle a vast variety of works, especially in the clerical cadre, in the guise of generating more revenues out of the businesses carried out. But, the Banks handle only the Banking works. Hence, the INDIAN post offices perform a lot of agency functions. In the name of modernisation and computerisation, the clerical staff are being subjected to " electronic surveillance " by the higher authorities, since the medium of Internet is deployed.
