Hon'ble Governor of AP
and Telengana Sri E.S.L.Narasimhan has presented "DAK SEVA" Awards to the Postal employees in a colourful function held
at Indira Priyadarshini Auditorium, Public gardens,Hyderabad on 04.08.2015.
Addressing the impressive
gathering, the Hon"ble Governor Sri E.SL.Narasimhan has said that
despite the strides on the information and communication technology front and
though he himself uses a lot of technology in his daily life, he was very
conservative on several counts.
“Notwithstanding the advent of technology, the
Postal Department is the most dependable, efficient. WhatsApp may give you
texts and pictures instantly, but post brings you the personal touch,” he said,
to thunderous applause.
Sri BV. Sudhakar Chief
PMG AP Circle outlined several initiatives that the Department had taken in AP
and Telangana and how they were being replicated in other postal circles across
the country.
“Contrary to popular perception that the numbers are on the wane,
our postmen made 19 lakh deliveries in 2013-14 and it went up to 21.5 lakh in
2015, representing a growth of 18 per cent that is more than the industry
average. On the efficiency of SpeedPost, he said it went up from 67 per cent in
March, 2013 to a whopping 97 per cent in June, 2015,” he said, summing up.
Towards the close,
