Postal Department to set up Post Bank of India, soon
The Indian Department of Posts may complete the planning phase for
the creation of the Post Bank of India very soon. Post Bank of India is
being set up to provide all banking facilities to the rural population,
who have to rely upon informal sources for credit and other financial
requirements.
It is reported that a detailed project report
(DPR) will be submitted in a few weeks from now explaining the
organization structure of the proposed institution. The DPR is likely to
describe the relationship amongst the founding bodies, the Department
of Posts and Post Office Savings Bank with the Post Bank of India.
For implementing the DPR, an external body of foreing consultants
has been selected. The implementation of the project may be carried out
by anyone of the firms - McKinsey & Co, Boston Consulting Group,
Accenture Services, KPMG Advisory Services and Ernst & Young. The
DPR will be finalized by December 31, 2012.
Post Bank of India is being established as a profit making institution particularly to help Department of Posts in lessening its losses.

Director (PP)India Post 2013 Calendar
Department of Posts released India Post 2013 Calendar based on the theme of Astrological Signs.The occult has always held a fascination for the human mind. Whether it is deemed an art or a mathematically accurate science, the fascination remains. From the days of Vedic astrology and the Delphic Oracle to current days, we have an inherent curiosity about ourselves, our past and future.
The twelve zodiac signs are represented by figures and symbols and associated with constellations and planets and their old Greek or Roman or Indian legends. Without any partisanship on the veracity or otherwise of astrology and the occult arts, the Department of Posts had issued a set of stamps on zodiac astrological signs. The designs of the stamps are rooted in Indian folk art and depict the 12 zodiac signs- against four base colours which reflect the elements of earth, air, fire and water. India Post 2013 Calendar
is inspired by these postage stamps.
India Post 2013 Calendar is available at various Philatelic Bureaus in the country at the price of Rs. 250/- .
