There will be no job losses during transformation of the Department of
Posts, Communications and IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad assured
Friday.

transformation of Department of Post. There is a need for capacity
building," Prasad tweeted while sharing highlights of his address to
circle heads of Department of Posts.
The Minister has been asking postal employees to transform themselves
and help in transformation of post offices.
"Computerisation of all Post Offices must be completed soon. This is my
priority and I will personally monitor the progress of this work," he
tweeted.
The minister said that proposed Post Bank of India will be a game
changer for the department as it will take financial inclusion to a new
level.
"Post offices must gear up for this," he said.
The DoP has plans to set up Post Bank of India under payments bank
licence. The Reserve Bank of India has already issued licensing norms
for niche banks - payments banks and small banks.
Prasad said that DoP officers should reach out to eCommerce companies
and offer them logistics services.
"eCommerce is a great opportunity. India Post must use this opportunity
to take eCommerce to the every corner of India," Prasad said.
India Post has launched a mobile application and an e-commerce centre at
Safdarjang, New Delhi, that will handle e-retailing exclusively. The
centre is capable of handling 30,000 parcels per day.
Online retail players such as Amazon, Paytm and Snapdeal are using the
Postal Department's services for their parcels.
He said that post offices in rural India must also improve their
facilities and improve their visibility by placing sign boards so that
people can locate it easily.
"Department of Post has to play a bigger & more active role in
transformation of India. No other govt agency has such deep
understanding of India," Prasad tweeted.
