Mangaluru: The renovated Railway Mail Service (RMS) office was inaugurated at the Central Railway Station here, on July 10.
The programme began with an invocation. MP Nalin Kumar Kateel inaugurated the programme by lighting the traditional lamp with other dignitaries on the dais.
Senior Superintendent of Railway Ministry Sanna Naika welcomed the gathering. Briefing on the Railway Mail Service, Sanna Naika said, “RMS is a mail transportation service. At present, there are 421 RMS offices in India. RMS acts as a lifeline in Indian Postal Service. It handles the largest bulk of mail consignments in the nation like speed posts, registered letters, parcels etc. It was very unfortunate that the RMS office was completely neglected. The condition of the second floor was pathetic and walls were cracked, basic facilities were not upto the mark but MP Nalin Kumar Kateel took the initiative to renovate the building. The MP also assured to release funds for the renovation of the building and within a few months the RMS office was renovated and upgraded. He also thanked MP Nalin Kumar for his initiative and help”.
In his inaugural speech, MP Nalin Kumar Kateel said, “Postal service always keeps the people around the world connected but the facilities in the Railway Mail Service were not upto the mark. When we were small people used to wait for the post man for letters from their dear ones. But now, everything has been digitalized. People are connecting with their dear and near ones through modern gadgets. On July 1, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the ‘Digital India’ project to reform governance through technology. Digital India will aim for the all round growth in electronic products, manufacturing, services and to create job opportunities.”
“Last year, when I visited this office, it was in pathetic condition. There was leakage from the roof and the toilets were not maintained well. After visiting the RMS office, I realized that a face-lift of the office was necessary. In Mangaluru, under the Digital India programme, we have launched the ATM at the Pandeshwar branch of the post office. The RMS office has been renovated and inaugurated and now it is the duty of the staff to maintain it well.”
Post Master General S Rajendra Kumar also spoke on the occasion. Jagadish Pai, DG Nayak and others were also present.
Later a press meet was held at the RMS office premises. Addressing the mediapersons, Post Master General S Rajendra Kumar shared the initiatives taken by the Department of Posts under the Prime Minister’s dream project ‘Digital India’, which was launched on 1st July 2015. In view of the digital environment of the present day, the need for change is real. Customers expect and demand quick and free service. In order to achieve this, the Department of Posts is adopting core banking, rural information and communication technology, core system integrator, etc. Under the core banking project, the aim is to bring all the post offices in India under one network. This helps the customers to make transactions at any post office in India. This will also provide 24 hour withdrawal facility to the account holders.
He further said, “Out of 1,30,000 post offices which are located in rural areas throughout the country, 3810 belong to this region. These branch post offices are being brought under the network with Sub and Head post offices by adopting state of the art technology. 400 rural post offices in the country have been identified for the implementation of Rural Information and Communication Technology, and this process is expected to be completed by Nov 2015. By adopting this technology, rural post offices will be able to deliver better services to the customers and the rural customers will be able to get the services that are available in urban areas. The Department of Posts is eager to contribute to the Prime Minister’s dream project ‘Digital India’ by playing an important role.”
When asked about the details regarding the Post office ATM, he replied, “As of now, only post office account holders can transact through India Post ATMs. Various services are available like cash withdrawal, Fast cash, Balance enquiry, Funds transfer, Pin change, etc. The minimum balance required for issue of ATM card is just Rs 500.”
Jagdish Pai and others were also present in the press meet.
So…this is what our MP N.Kumaara is doing? Inaugurating ATMs ? Oh God! When is he going to do some ‘shrama daana’ by cleaning local streets and surroundings? Or, does he need a kick from Pradhaana sevaka before doing something productive?
When I refer to imaginary god to make a point, it doesn’t turn me into another god-fearing, religious guy. – Original RampaNNA Pyarelallu Rampu, Please don’t confer more titles on yourself and heap praises on you (Eg. my posts are brilliant, I wrote a superior post, I’m Father Superior, one-two-ka-four – my name is Rampa etc). You know ya Rampa, you remind me of that Joker called Idi Amin who conferred titles on himself such as – “His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the… Read more »
Or, does he need a kick from Pradhaana sevaka before doing something productive? – Original Rampa on Nalin Kumar Err Rampa, MAYBE it should be the OTHER way round? You see, our 56 Inch Emperor is almost on the verge of getting NRI status. He has been out of the country so often extending lines-of-credit left, right and centre straight that he can’t even remember his address, PAN card and Aadhar Card nos. He and his chamchas went on and on about they would get back black money within 100 days and disburse approx. 15 Lacs to each and every… Read more »
Joker Praveena Pinto,
Sri Modiji came to power in 2014. You want him to fix every problem in a year? Well, in a way, it shows the high level of expectations you have from him. I guess it’s a refreshing change compared to low expectations we had from your congress party!! And, why are you worried about his visits to different countries to consolidate and solidify our alliance with different key international players? Your rejected US visa experience and years spent in Saudi farms don’t necessarily make you an expert on international politics. LOL
Sri Modiji came to power in 2014. You want him to fix every problem in a year? – PyareLallu Rampu Arre Rampu, Forget about a year ya Rampa. EVEN before he came to power, he cuckolded the gullible masses by promising the following: 1. Return of Black money (from ‘phoreen’ op coj) within 100 days and then distributing it WITHIN 150 days to all citizens of India (MINUS you, op coj). 2. The arrest of your best friend – Dawooda Ibraheema. (The fellow is still playing Golf in Karachi and sipping his cognac with impunity everywhere else EXCEPT in India).… Read more »
Your rejected US visa experience and years spent in Saudi farms don’t necessarily make you an expert on international politics. LOL. – Rampa
Proof ya Rampa? Talk is CHEAP!
Did you contact YOUR nearest US ‘outpost’? And can YOU provide some proof of your allegations about my allegedly rejected US Visa? Your Pradhana Sevaka’s REJECTED visa is well documented.
Anyway, why restrict loose some free-tailwind………… when because you have ample room via your Jhomblass chaddis to let go of it? Aren’t YOU in the LAND of the FREE? Smiles….
JUST do it ya Rampa. Phhrrrwwwwtttt… Brooom…… 🙂
Well said Original Paimaam, Modi does not need any MP’s to legislate or govern, for they are irrelevant under Modi’s “Democracy”!
As usual, Pincode Pai tries to twist things to fool himself!! No surprises!!
Sri Modiji came to power in 2014. You want him to fix every problem in a year? -Mr.Original Pai to Mr.Praveen Sir, Well Pregnancy in women has confirm delivery date. However since Modi sarkar came to power everything including “shocking admission” by BJP chief Amit Shah that the promise to deposit Rs 15 lakh in bank account of every family was just an ‘Jumala'(electoral gimmick). What are action taken by Narendra Modi against corruption? Nothing- on the contrary he is supporting corruption…how can you fight against your bankers (companies who give BJP funding for advertising in public elections). He has… Read more »
Sharia Shaikh – Your rambling makes no sense. Let’s make this very simple. Let’s see if you can answer these simple questions:
1. Do you think that Pakistan is engaged in anti-Indian activities ?
2. Do you think Dawood Ibrahim is India’s enemy ?
3. Do you think Pak was behind 26/11 mumbai attacks?
4. Do you think Pincode Pai is a Pagan and he worships false gods?
Dear readers,
What can one expect from ‘party of difference’ shining India showing silver star on the distance sky and then saying that is ‘Jumla’.
They are only good in blaming Congress 60 years rule. While better only ‘Shilanyasa’ ,demolition and watching …
After all great reprieve for BJP club MLA’s after Supreme court ruling. Now they will ask wide screen to keep them awake in boring debates.
Jai hind
