The Officers’ Conclave 2024 was held by the Department of Posts today. This important event focused on transforming India’s postal services and embracing new innovations for the digital age. For over 150 years, India Post has played a key role in connecting people across the country, and this conclave marked a big step towards modernizing its services.
The event was opened by Shri Jyotiraditya M. Scindia, the Minister of Communications & Development of North Eastern Region. In his speech, the Minister praised the dedication of the postal workers, saying, “India Post is not just about delivering letters and parcels, but about connecting hearts and bridging distances. Whether it’s rain or shine, in the city or the village – India Post delivers!”
He also reminded everyone of India Post’s deep history, saying that the department has been a part of the country’s communication journey from the days of pigeons delivering messages to the launch of the first airmail service in 1911.
The Minister emphasized that India Post is more than just a mail service; it is now a key player in digital and financial inclusion. He outlined a new approach under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, focusing on clear goals, teamwork, and innovation. He introduced five pillars for transforming India Post: Inspiring Leadership, Innovation, Inclusive Growth, Collective Action, and Staying True to Public Service.
The Officers’ Conclave brought together postal leaders from all over India to discuss the future of India Post. They talked about ways to improve services, meet digital goals, and support financial inclusion. The event included discussions on important topics like Post Office Passport Seva Kendras, Aadhaar services, and the newly launched Dak Ghar Niryat Kendras, which help local businesses.
One of the main highlights was the PM Gatishakti National Master Plan (NMP), which is helping India Post improve infrastructure and work more efficiently. Financial services like the Post Office Savings Bank (POSB), India Post Payment Bank (IPPB), and Postal Life Insurance (PLI) were also discussed. These services help India Post reach people all across the country and support the Digital India mission.
Minister Scindia ended his speech by urging postal officers to work as a team, focus on goals, and make India Post a global leader in communication and financial services. He encouraged them to “embrace innovation and efficiency” and make India Post the “first choice” for everyone in the country.
