World Postal Week

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.
