SBCO BULLETIN APRIL-2018

BE AWARE ABOUT FALSE PROBAGUNDA BY AISBCEU

Dear Comrades & Colleagues, 

I think you all know that our rival union is propagating that our SBCO association under the banner of NFPE  'is  no more'.  This is unscrupulous, unethical  and suppression of facts. In this way that organisation not only diluted their position but also defamed our members. Actually it is again proved that one organisation having vested interests only can do any thing. 

Can you set up an example where our rival organisation tried for betterment of postal department as well as postal employees including SBCO staff ? In all recent Movements, Strikes against privatisation of Postal Services, attack on SBCO, for better pay commission etc this union not only took inactive stand but also misled their members, even betrayed the entire movement. As a consequence, their membership has abruptly been decreasing while we are increasing at the same rate. This is the main reason of their personal  grudge against our association. Since our birth in 2008 they have filed  six cases in deffirent court spending huge money ( six - seven laks ) only to finish our association. Just think, can it be a  task of a service union ? However in the year 2010, department consequent upon Hon'ble HC Madras judgement granted us recgonisation. 

Very recent in response to a suit filed again by our rival union, Hon'ble HC of Calcutta has issued exparte judgement in their favour in absence of Advocates of the respondents ( ie our Advocate and Advocate of department ) .We have already filed a review petition at High Court Calcutta. This will be disposed of shortly and we have no doubt that present recent inabence order will be cancelled. 

So, Case is subjudice.Please, don't believe in rumourms of some fake elements. NFPE as a whole is taking care of this case.

DARPAN LAUNCHED FOR FINANCIAL INCLUSION

OF RURAL POPULATION

             The Minister of Communications Shri Manoj Sinha today launched DARPAN – “Digital Advancement of Rural Post Office for A New India” Project to improve the quality of service, add value to services and achieve “financial inclusion” of un-banked rural population. He said, the goal of the IT modernization project with an outlay of Rs. 1400 Crore is to provide a low power technology solution to each Branch Postmaster (BPM) which will enable each of approximately 1.29 Lakhs Branch Post Offices (BOs) to improve the level of services being offered to rural customers across all the states. Shri Sinha said that as on date, 43,171 Branch Post Offices have migrated under the “DARPAN”projectwith the aim of financial inclusion to rural population and it is targeted to complete the project by March, 2018.

            The Project shall increase the rural reach of the Department of Posts and enable BOs to increase traffic of all financial remittances, savings accounts, Rural Postal Life Insurance, and Cash Certificates; improve mail operations processes by allowing for automated booking and delivery of accountable article; increase revenue using retail post business; provide third party applications; and make disbursements for social security schemes such as MGNREGS.

            As part of IT modernization project, the Department of Posts (DoP) has carried out business process reengineering across various functional areas and has created To-Be processes that will enable it to achieve these objectives. As an achievement, Department of Posts has established 991 ATMs across the country, which are interoperable with other banks and the common people has directly benefited with the wide network of Department of Posts especially in rural areas. Till now, 1,12,85,217 transactions have been carried out on the DOP’s ATMs out of which 70,24,214 transactions have been done by the non-DOP customers. Department of Posts is the only Government player in this space. 

            For more than 150 years, the Department of Posts (DoP) has been the backbone of the country’s communication and has played a crucial role in the country’s socio-economic development. It touches the lives of Indian citizens in many ways: delivering mails, accepting deposits under Small Savings Schemes, providing life insurance cover under Postal Life Insurance (PLI) and Rural Postal Life Insurance (RPLI) and providing retail services like bill collection, sale of forms, etc. The Department of Posts also acts as an agent for Government of India in discharging other services for citizens such as Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) wage disbursement and old age pension payments. With 1.5 lakh Post Offices (approximately), the Department of Posts has the most widely distributed postal network in the world.

            Trends such as urbanization, increased demand for financial services, increased funding by the government for the weaker sections and the rural sector, have opened up new opportunities for the Department of Posts,which in turn has necessitated development of new processes and supporting technology. The Department of Posts is also faced with twin challenges of increasing competition and continuing advances in communication technology, especially in mobile telephony and the Internet. In order to provide the best-in-class customer service, deliver new services and improve operational efficiencies,the Department of Posts has undertaken an end to end IT modernization project to equip itself with requisite modern tools and technologies. The IT modernization project intends to achieve the following:

1. Wider reach to the Indian populace through more customer interaction channels
2. Better customer service

III. Growth through new lines of business

1.    IT enablement of business processes and support functions
