Main focus of the DoP is reaching common man: Sibal

New Delhi, Aug 8 (PTI) The Consultative Committee on Communications and Information Technology, chaired by Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal, met here to discuss the role post offices can play in the development of rural India.

"The Post office can be the centre of activity, be it communication, banking, insurance, remittance and retailing service. The fundamental focus of the Department of Posts (DoP) is to reach the ''Aam Aadmi''," Sibal said.

The meeting, held last evening, was attended by the two Ministers of State, Sachin Pilot and Milind Deora, as well as Members of Parliament P K Biju, Vinay Kumar Pandey and Shri Shivraj Singh Lodhi.

The Telecom Minister said the post office network offers tremendous potential to contribute towards development of rural areas and people of that area.

Like any other development activity, development of rural areas requires an adequate support of appropriate infrastructure, he said.

"With its more than 1.39 lakh post offices in rural areas, DoP provides support in various critical functions through communication, financial services, life insurance products and other retail services.

"Reach, credibility ,experience, trained manpower, time tested operating and accounting procedures put the post offices in unique position of being the most suitable vehicle for rural development," Sibal said.

The rural Information Communication Technology (ICT) programme will further strengthen the delivery mechanism of all social security schemes, reduce the delay in payments and improve the quality and collection and sharing of information between post offices and state governments, he added.

The members participating also emphasised that the potential of the Indian Postal Network should be used to the maximum to offer services and products to the common man in rural areas.

They said employment generation in rural areas and improving the service hours and conditions of Gramin Dak Sewaks should be regarded important for revenue generation.

Constitution to be amended for SC/ST promotion quota


 The UPA government will table in Parliament on August 22 a constitutional amendment bill to ensure reservation in promotions for SCs/STs in government jobs.  An all-party meeting will be held a day earlier to discuss the bill.

Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office, V Narayanswamy announced the government’s decision on Thursday, following adjournments in both Houses as members cutting across political parties demanded the reservation.



A demand for amending the constitution has come in the wake of the Allahabad High Court judgment that scrapped Uttar Pradesh government’s decision to implement quota in promotions. The High Court judgment was subsequently upheld by the Supreme Court.
Sources in the government said SC/ST employes in both Central and state governments will benefit if the bill is passed. The applicability of the reservation to all categories of government jobs will be decided after consultation with the political parties.

“The government will ready the bill and bring it before the Cabinet soon,” they added.
The issue triggered an uproar in Rajya Sabha on Thursday, as several parties joined the Mayawati-led BSP to demand the reservation, stalling proceedings in both Houses.

During the break, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was seen engaged in a discussion with Mayawati and the dissenting MPs. In the Rajya Sabha, Mayawati  and D Raja (CPI) claimed that a meeting promised by the government to discuss a quota in reservation for SC/ST persons, in the previous session of Parliament never took place.

In the Lok Sabha, BSP MPs trooped to the well to demand the reservation.
Even before Thursday’s session commenced, the SC/ST MPs’  Forum staged a dharna in front of the Ambedkar statue in the Parliament House premises, demanding early passage of the bill.

In 2007, the erstwhile BSP government  in UP had decided to reserve promotion to the SC/ST employees in top government posts. Ever since, the BSP has stuck to the demand, urging the Centre to intervene and introduce a bill to nullify the apex court judgment.
