PROPOSAL FOR CADRE RESTRUCTURING IN POSTMASTER CADRE SUBMITTED TO DIRECTORATE TODAY BY THE CHQ, ALL INDIA ASSOCIATION FOR POSTMASTER CADRE..
Cadre restructuring in Post Master Cadre
CREATION OF POSTMASTER CADRE – AN IDEA TO BRING BACK THE GLORY OF INDIAPOST :
The services at Post offices offered have grown in the traditional areas of sale of stamps, booking of Money orders and registered letters as also in Savings Bank functions, especially where Post Offices disburse NREGA wages to beneficiaries. In many post offices these activities are carried out electronically, new services like e-payment, e-post etc is also offered. Further the Department has also entered into agreements with private players like Western Union for money transfers. In the area of mail, both express, parcel and traditional, the Department of Posts faces tremendous competition. It has to offer excellent services by way of continuous upgrades in quality and in the add on value of its mail products, like 100, national billing, same day delivery of corporate mail etc “to improve/upgrade the functioning of the Post Offices, meet the present day requirement of specialization in Postal office management in the wake of introduction of technology, challenges from market and to increase productivity that it has absolutely become essential and to ensure that key Post Offices are headed by professional managers.”
Thus, Department of Posts had created Post Master cadre three years back by carving out 33% of LSG, HSG-II and HSG-I posts as Gr.I, Gr.II and Gr.III respectively. We hope that the very purpose of creating this cadre is fulfilled from our side with constant efforts. The Department has been benefited by creating this cadre because almost all Gr.I/II Post offices are working efficiently in India when compared to previous period in MNOP and CBS projects. In future also, Department has to depend on this cadre to implement various project under India Post, 2012 several other ensuing innovative projects in future.
All Post offices identified under Post Master Cadre are Head Post Offices, Mukhya Dak Ghars, Offices identified for Core Banking Solution (CBS), major delivery Offices and Offices located in prime locations serving as face of India Post. But there is no departmentally approved powers,rights and identity.
Duties and Responsibilities of a Post Master in independent post offices:-
Operative units are the face of the Post Offices. Our Business depends upon the operative functions. But this is crystal clear that the vital side is ignored and least importance is given from years together. The in charge of an operative units is not seen in a way of prestige as in case of an section /divisional incharge and the highest responsibility takers are very less.
Post Master made involved in each and every work of a post office. From Postal Manual Volume-I to Volume-VI and PO Guide part-I to Part-II and POSB Manual Vol.I and Vol.II, and the circulars issued from time to time by the department at whtsoever working environment of his unit .
The Postmasters are pulled in all and every irregularity directly performed by their subordinate in the name of implied duties.
The detailed list of the duties and responsibilities of a Postmaster is as under :
