THE VIEWS AND SUBMISSIONS OF NFPE PRESENTED ON THE EVE OF WORKSHOP
ON IPPB AT NEW DELHI ON 7TH MARCH -2018
Sir,
At the outset, we want
to place it on record that all the unions federated under NFPE are not in
favour of corporate Post Bank set up but at the same time we desire to keep the
IPPB as the wholly preserving and protecting thePostal Bank by the Postal Department
without any private or public share of 49% and controlled by a separate body
other than the Head of the Postal Department.
I wish to point
out despite our strong protest against the IPPB Corporate bank limited which
was resolved in the NFPE Federal Executive on11/02/2018 held at New Delhi and also
in the CWC meeting of Postal Group ‘C’ Union on 26th& 27th
February 2018 at Patna (Bihar), I am attending this workshop with the determination
and the intention to request to reconsider your decision and revert back the
IPPB as the Government oriented Postal Bank of India wholly maintained and
preserved by the Department of Posts. If need be it shares can be made open to
its employees to expand the service in the paucity of required funds. It must
be a bank owned and operated by the Postal Department with the share of its
employees and their full participation.
Notwithstanding
with our position not to corporate IPPB, the Service Unions desire to place on
record to have 100% of the postal staff must be utilized to serve for the
Postal bank and there should be no other recruitment other than from the Postal
Staff.It is most pertinent to mention that no nationalized or private banks are
doing the small savings work and being the Social oriented state, the Post
office is alone doing the SB work which is the main revenue for the Postal
Service at this juncture. If all these small savings accounts are transferred
to IPPB at a later stage or today, what will be the remaining work for the PO counters?
We are feeling that the Department by introduction of IPPB, blinds the existing
Postal Department with its own figures. We are pleading for reconsideration, if
not,we are having the apprehension that the postal savings bank work at present
is the major work of the postal department shall be transferred to IPPB in the later
stage. Therefore, the IPPB shall be managed only with the Postal staff and not
recruited separately
Further after the
introduction of CBS, in many places, the POs are suffering with worn out and
old peripherals with low configuration, Poor network and mal -functioning of
NSP- I & II and also due to poor user friendly configuration of the CSI
software. Those have to be corrected first. Unless the requirements like
adequate net work, bandwidth, working computers, are fulfilled, there should be
no implementation of CSI. Similarly the recommendations of Kamalesh Chandra
Committee providing compassionate appointment to the wards of GDS who could not
work in RICT, on implementation of Rural ICT shall be implemented first and
thereafter Rural ICT must be implemented if the Rural ICT and CSI shall be
jointly implemented after providing necessary infrastructure and user friendly
software. If it so, it will be a successful transformation of technology.
After the complete
transformation, the IPPB not as corporation Ltd can be implemented for which
our Federation will extend Fullest Cooperation.
Further I desire
to mention that the Postal Department shall have a separate network
Connectivity like Railways &Defencein order to ensure proper networking
facility to the Post offices so that we could expand our services later even in
the rural areas. The postal staff are very much committed only with their hard
work and dedication only this much of transformation in
the postal service was possible for that he had not paid any amount or
compensation. The hard labour they exerted during these days should be utilized
for the postal service alone and not to be transferred to the hands of
corporates for that we will again register our protest in this meeting with the
request to reconsider the decision.
Thank you very much
R.N.
