CWC Rayagada - A brief Report
The Circle Working
Committee-cum-Council Meeting of AIPEU, Group-C Odisha Circle was successfully held
from 23.08.2019 to 25.08.2019 along with the 1st historic joint
Divisional Conference of AIPEU, Group-C, Postman & MTS, Rayagada Division in
Biju Pattanaik Kalyan Mandap, Rayagada, situated in the outskirts of the river
Nagavali which is a place of great
scenic beauty and an unexplored paradise with meadows, forests, waterfalls and
terraced valleys. Both the CWC meeting and the Divisional Conference remained
historic since Rayagada Division which was created on 01.04.2019 on bifurcation
of Koraput Division and Berhampur Division with Rayagada HO and Parlakhemundi
HO hosted the CWC along with its 1st Joint Divisional Conference.
The determination of the
staff members to organize both the events with zero balance is praise worthy.
During the period of three days, we marked the pattern of living with unity in
diversity of races, languages and culture. The Scheduled Tribes living there possess
dissimilar economies ranging from food gathering to settled cultivation. Their
languages / dialects, societies and culture show inter-societal and cultural
variations because of ethnic mosaic. Simultaneously with traditional Odia food,
the members also took the taste of South Indian dishes.
Out of 20 Divisions, 16
Divisions did participate along with their Circle councillors except Bhadrak,
Cuttack North, Mayurbhanj and Puri Division. All the Circle Union office
bearers were also present except two.
The forenoon session of the
CWC was commenced at 10.30 AM on 23.08.2019 with a brief description by Com. P
C Rout, Circle President who also presided the meeting. After respectful homage
to the departed personalities and trade union leaders, Com. B Samal, Circle
Secretary presented the CWC report for the intervening period. The afternoon Session started with agenda-wise
deliberations of Divisional Secretaries followed by the Circle Union office
bearers and Circle Councillors which continued till 10.30 PM on 24.08.2019 and
ended with the reply of the Circle Secretary on each issue raised by the
speakers and adoption of several resolutions to be published separately later
on.
The CWC was also attended
by Com. Trilochan Parida, Ex-President and Com. Kunja Bihari Dash, Ex-Financial
Secretary of AIPEU, Group-C, Odisha Circle who have been retired in the
meantime. Both the senior leaders guided the CWC sharing several incidents from
their experience.
The participating members
thoroughly reviewed the organizational position with their valuable suggestions
on NPS, MACP, APAR, CGHS, Recruitment, Leave and Transfer policies, issues
arising out of CBS, CIS and CSI, irregular transfer and deputation, trade union
victimization, corporate move of India Post, building maintenance and
dequarterization issues, role of AIPEU, Gr-C, Odisha Circle in the coming 32nd
AIC and many more. The healthy deliberations with constructive suggestions
allowed the CWC to adopt many resolutions for taking up at appropriate level.
The anti-NFPE activities of some Divisional heads were brought to the notice of
the CWC and all the participating members stressed upon to go for series of
agitational programme against such Divisional Heads culminating to Indefinite
Strike by P-III alone if suitable action is not taken by those officers. Another
important decision was taken to organize a Circle level Trade Union camp for
two days in Bhubaneswar to educate and aware the leaders and staff
members.
As witnessed during the two
days deliberations, AIPEU, Group-C, Odisha Circle is blessed with
multi-talented young members who have gone deep into the contemporary issues
and who possess several positive qualities of thorough analysis of the present
and future of India and India Post as well. The senior members were overwhelmed
with the deliberations of the young chaps and remarked that the future of NFPE
in Odisha is quite assured in the hands of these young guys.
The Open Session of the CWC
along with the 1st Joint Divisional Conference of Rayagada Division
was commenced at 10.30 AM on 25.08.2019 in a very colourful manner. After
hoisting of National, NFPE and AIPEU flag followed by homage in the martyrs’
column, the Open Session was inaugurate by Com. Chandana Harendranath,

Circle addressed the Open Session as Chief Guest and Guest of Honour
respectively. While Com. MCS Rao, Circle Secretary, P-IV, Odisha addressed as Hon’ble
Speaker, Com. B Samal, Circle Secretary, P-III and Leader, RJCM (Staff Side),

Turkish Post’s Post Café brings new look to post offices with traditional hospitality
22.08.2019 - Turkish Post has launched Post Café, an innovation that is part of the operator’s new post office concept and an important step in its modernization process.
The initiative is aimed at improving customer satisfaction.
In recent years, Turkish Post has been updating its products and services according to modern requirements in order to enhance the value of its brand and to strengthen its position in the market. It developed the idea of a Post Café after carrying out customer feedback studies.
To start, the operator has planned to inaugurate Post Cafés in major post offices with high customer traffic and wider product and service offerings. The first branch of the Post Café was established in 2017 at one of its major post offices in Bursa. The operator has since expanded the project, opening a Post Café at the Gazi University campus in Ankara in September 2018.
“As Turkish Post, we will continue to be present in every service area that will facilitate the lives of young people,” said Kenan Bozgeyik, Director General of Turkish Post, on the second café’s inauguration.
Bozgeyik also stated that as a local and national organization, Turkish Post aims to provide favourable services to students. He added, “We will continue offering our letter mail, parcel, banking, and mobile services in much more convenient ways.”
It is expected that Post Cafés will soon appear on all university campuses across Turkey, offering visitors a pleasant environment to socialize. Now, waiting in line at such a post office, customers can enjoy its welcoming atmosphere, giving the traditional post office a new look that promotes the well-known warm spirit of Turkish hospitality.
Turkish Post has carried out a number of other interesting social projects, which have enhanced the operator’s role in the international community. For example, in 2018 and 2019, it donated 40 motorcycles and accessories to several other postal operators in order to help them improve the quality of mail deliveries and to develop cooperation.
Under the charity project “Don’t Throw Away,” which was launched in 2017 in cooperation with philanthropist Muammer Kavazoglu, Turkish Post has been delivering parcels with repaired and renewed toys to hospitals, schools, rehabilitation centers, and other social institutions all across Turkey completely free of charge. Some 3,500 toys have been already delivered and the operator’s goal is to reach out to 1 million children in need.
