VARIOUS OBSTACLES OF POSTMASTER CADRE- DISCUSSION FORUM


DEAR POSTMASTER,

A new word is like a fresh seed sown on the ground of the discussion.

Any work of architecture that has with it some discussion, some polemic, I think is good. It shows that people are interested, people are involved

Anyone who in discussion relies upon authority uses, not his understanding, but rather his memory.

Discussion is an exchange of knowledge; an argument an exchange of ignorance. 

Discussion is just a tool. You have to aim; the final goal must be a decision. 

THIS IS OUR DISCUSSION TIME :

POINT OF DISCUSSION   #01 :

WHEN I ASKED SOME OF MY POSTMASTER FRIENDS THAT,” WHY YOU OPTED THE POSTMASTER       CADRE WHEN THE HSG II/HSG I ARE TIMELY GIVEN ADHOC PROMOTION, DUE RESPECT IN THE POSITION AND CAN BE ACT AS INDIVIDUAL UNIT COMING DIRECT CONTROL  OF THE DIVISIONAL HEAD INSTEAD OF THE ASPs INCHARGE OF SUB DIVISION. “

 VARIOUS TYPES OF ANSWERS I RECEIVED ARE SUMMERISED HEREIN BELOW:

Invitation for The Informal Meeting of Southern Region Postmaster Cadre officials of Tamilnadu Circle on 15.07.2012(sunday)

Dear Postmasters,

Knowing is not enough; we must apply.
Willing is not enough; we must do.
Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one's thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world.
Action conquers fear.
      Our real problem, then, is not our strength today; it is rather the vital necessity of action today to ensure our strength tomorrow.

        As per the Directorate Letter number 8/15/2011-SR(ATR) submitted before the hunger strike of JCA, vide para 18 and 19, department is now willing to hear the opinion of opted Postmaster cadre officials to set right the disparity of Postmaster Cadre. So this is the opt time to derive the general opinion among PM Grade I, II, III officials TO SAVE THIS CADRE.


Department is ready to hear us. NOW BALL IS ON OUR COURT

As we all know other circles like Punjab, Maharashtra have  successfully organized their meeting already. Even in Tamilnadu circle, informal meeting was conducted successfully. Now it is our turn to form a guild of Postmaster at Southern Region level to discuss the various issues.
