Postage increase 2014: USPS rate increase of stamps to 49
cents
December 30, 2013 : A postage increase for 2014
will soon go into effect through the U.S. Postal Service.MyFoxDC.com reported
Dec. 28 that the cost for a First Class stamp will go from 46 cents to 49 cents
effective Jan. 26. This change was announced on Christmas Eve after the Postal
Regulatory Commission voted to raise the price of USPS postage. The USPS rate increase for sending
letters, magazines, and packages by six percent is aimed to only be temporary,
according to the report. The rates are not expected to be permanent, ending in
less than two years. It is being implemented to help the Postal Service recover
from significant financial losses. Many, especially businesses, are against the
postage increase in 2014 since it is over the
above-inflation adjustment amount.

How many are Recognizing on Retirement Day:-
Are bosses are recognizing
really? Frankly saying most of them retiring calmly without any recognizing
on the day of retirement even serving
for more decades. Those who are active in
unions/ associations are felicitating by union leaders. In some divisions the
Divisional heads are arranging felicitation function on every month at DO by garlanding
retired officials during that month recognizing with memento and handover the
copies of DCRG / EL encashment etc. And the participants have a great opportunity
to listen the changes in post office through the mouth of the retired people.
No doubt they feel happy on that day and remember the day of retirement for ever
This practice has been going under many divisions under Vijayawada region (A.P circle) .

philatelic activities and special initiatives, like ‘My Stamp’, of which it

The field units are struggling with error generating or
partially made software. At the same time most of the employees of India Post
are unaware of this new services, so some people are treated this article as VP
and collected MO commission from addressee some others delivered the articles
without collecting the amount. Some RMS offices have sent these articles
as RP to Post Offices and the Post Office staffs have delivered the same as
parcel. Various feedbacks are getting from the field staffs in this
regards especially from System Administrators who implement the technology in Post Offices. The COD
services were implemented without making much test in the software level and
without much education among employees.
The COD services were the most
awaited service of India Post. This service is a serious threat to all private courier companies if it succeeds in its
implementation, so they are eagerly watching its implementation. On the
other side online shopping giants are also giving more attention to COD service of India Post for spreading their business to rural areas. Our expectations were already shared in the older post India Post to revolutionize online market reach So hindrance happened in the implementation process should be overcome at any cost. Even though this
is an implementation stage, the traffic of COD articles from various sources shows the acceptance of this COD services by various vendors. India

e – mail security policy coming soon:-
THIRUVANANTHPURAM:
Seeking to ensure cybersecurity and keep government documents away from
hackers, the government is working on an email security policy. The
policy will be announced shortly, Minister of State for Communications and IT
Milind Deora said. All public sector employees in the country would be brought
on the government domain of National Informatics Centre (NIC) as part of the
policy, he told a press meet here. "Cybercrimes are linked not just to any
particular institution, state or nation. We have to tackle it with
institutional capacities and with the co-operation of local police and
international agencies," Deora said. "As part of the National
Cyber Security Policy, we are trying to create a new email policy for
government employees. It will make them move away from foreign email services
like Gmail and bring onto nic.in, the government's email domain managed by
NIC," he said. Since the
country had its own 'cloud', there was no reason for people to depend on
foreign services, he said. Deora,
who had a discussion with the officials of BSNL, Postal and C-Dac here, said
the ministry was planning to allot three new post offices and a training centre
for post office staff here.. //PTI //
