Postal department will train its staff to meet challenges of e-world
In
a move to strengthen postal services in the country, Indian postal
department will set up six additional Postal Training Centres (PTCs) in
the country.
To
ensure committed and efficient employees, the department is mulling
over setting up additional training centres under the 12th Five Year
Plan, said S K Sinha, member of human resources development, Postal
Services Board.
Delivering
the keynote address of golden jubilee celebrations of PTC (Mysuru) here
on Monday, he said that the proposed centres will impart training in
recent technologies and enable employees meet present-day challenges.
Commitment
from employees is much required to meet the challenges, he said, adding
that training would play an important role in changing the attitude of
employees.
The
department is also planning to impart training among group A and B
employees to make them efficient, he added. Since 1980s, the nature of
business has changed, he pointed.
He
also lauded PTC (Mysuru) for its training programmes and other
activities. Ever since its inception on April 20, 1965, the centre has
trained 1,16,590 employees in various courses. It follows Universal
Postal Union Train Post Methodology to train the employees. PTC (Mysuru)
has been catering to the needs of the postal circles of Karnataka,
Kerala and Andhra Pradesh.
Chief
postmaster general (Karnataka circle) M S Ramanujan said that the
department is gearing up (to meet the challenges), but it takes some
time to absorb recent technologies and services. He said that e-commerce
business needs the help of post department, and "it is certain they
will come to us". e-commerce is the new baby of the department, and it
will nourish the baby, he said, asking employees to be sensitive in
handling e-commerce services.
On
the occasion, former directors of PTC were felicitated and a special
cover on PTC (Mysuru), picture post cards on the wood works of PTC and a
sovereign were unveiled. PTC (Mysuru) director D Veena Kumari presented
a report on the journey of PTC.
