What has the Govt done to put Postal Dept to good use? : MoC Answers

SSY கணக்குகளில் அனைத்து வங்கிகளும் சேர்ந்து 4,00,000 லட்சங்களும் , அனைத்து அஞ்சல் அலுவலகங்களும்  84,00,000 லட்சம் கணக்குகள் துவக்கிவுள்ளன என நமது இல்லாக்கா அமைச்சர் அறிவித்துள்ளார். நல்லாதான் இருக்கு!!!
ஆனா GDS  க்கு மட்டும் வாங்கும் சம்பளம் 3 ஆண்டுக்கு ஒரு முறை மாறும் போது பலருக்கு குறையுதே?  இது அமைச்சர் காதுக்கு போகாதா ?
ஒரு சமயம் வடிவேல் சொல்வதுபோல் " ஒருத்தன் சொன்னான் இவன் ரொம்ப நல்லவன்னு "" GDS  தான் எவ்வளவு அடித்தாலும் தாங்குவான்னு நிர்வாகத்துக்கு நல்லாவே தெரிவுமே!!!!

The postal department is a huge machinery of both manpower as well as infrastructure. What has the government done to put this machinery to good use?

Extract of Interview with Ravi Shankar Prasad

India Post is a fine 150-year-old body, which always remained in the background. I have pushed them in a big way. Improving their operations, and pushing them for bigger things. Speed Post has been adjudged as the best courier service by the CAG in eight states of India, and the report is before Parliament. Their revenue has grown by 7.1 per cent … We have also gone for a lot of modernisation of the department. In 2004, we had only four ATMs. Now there are 913 postal ATMs. We have about 1,54,000 post offices all over the country, out of which about 25,000 are regular post offices and the rest are rural post offices.

This vast network has been put to work for e-commerce delivery, and this is a very outstanding success story that I need to acknowledge. What is important is that the entire postal department is very inspired. We are supposed to play a role in the field of digital growth and financial inclusion. The postal department has opened 84,00,000 Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana accounts. All the banks combined have opened only 4,00,000 accounts.
