Postal Department all set for new age!
October 16, 2009
In near future, the existing six-digit Postal Index Numbers are going to be replaced with 11 digit Delivery Point Identity number in the Kerala Postal Circle. The preliminary work of the system has already begun. But the full implementation of the system would require some time to come into operation. Five more digits would be added to the existing PIN number under the new system. The first two digits would refer to the code of a postman serving a locality, while the remaining three digits would represent the code of an address.
All the 5000 odd post offices in the state would be computerized in the next couple of years. This would be done as part of enhancing the efficiency of the Postal Department. About 900 would be computerized soon. Attitude and skill training programmes are being conducted for the employees of the Postal Department. The post offices are receiving good response for various add-on services including ticket reservation services, sale of gold coins and various financial products. The department is also planning to introduce an insurance scheme for rubber saplings. Another interesting fact is out of 639 crore letters being handled by the Postal Department annually, a major part of it comes from Kerala circle.
