Dear Comrades,
To remind people about the existence and variety of services
given in this era of technological advancements, the Jharkhand Circle of
the Indian Postal Department is celebrating World Postal Week.
At a Press meet on Tuesday, Chief Postmaster General KK Sinha said, “We
celebrate World Postal Week from October 9 every year. It marks the
establishment of Universal Postal Union (1874). In 1969, a conference
was organised in Tokyo where UPU Congress decided to celebrate World
Postal Week.”
“At present, there 1.55 lakh post offices across the country, of which
more than 80 per cent are in rural areas. Different kinds of programmes
will be organised on each day of the week,” he added. “October 10 will
be celebrated as Saving Bank Day, in which information about saving
schemes of postal departments will be disseminated. Likewise, October 11
will be celebrated as Mail Day, October 12 as Philately Day, October 13
as Business Development Day and October 15 will be celebrated as Postal
Life Insurance Day,” Sinha said.
Customer meets will be organised on October 13 in division offices in
the State. School children will be made aware about the channel through
which a mail passes.
