Exactly
before five years, this BLOG was launched for Rajasthan Circle branch of All India
Association of Inspectors/Asstt. Superintendents Posts. The technocrat behind
this BLOG was non other than the person who is now on the driver’s seat of our
Association i.e. Shri Bhupendra Parashar, Circle Secretary. Before launching of
this BLOG, I used to issue bimonthly news bulletins which were also popular and
relevant at that time. However, the news and other issues were made known to
the members en’block after a period of two months. But after the BLOG came into
existence, the news and other activities of the Association became accessible
to the members instantly. I think, many times only this BLOG is used as the
primary source of information, not only for the activities of our Association
but also for the other departmental activities. We should continue to feed with
new ideas and information to be posted and shared on the BLOG in this
electronic era of twitter and other social sites.
The
popularity of any BLOG is adjudged by the number of its viewers. You will
surprise to know that during the last five year 1,29,346 persons have visited
this BLOG and at an average of more than one hundred persons visit this BLOG
daily. Upto this day, 302 articles have been posted on this BLOG. For this tremendous achievement, Shri Parashar
deserves a great thank. At this time, I also congratulate all the viewers and
express gratitude on behalf of the Association who not only put their faith in
this BLOG but also encouraged team Parashar. I hope, the BLOG will continue to increase its
family of viewers and will keep the information updated. For your kind information, here
I may add that viewers of this BLOG are not only from Rajasthan but across the
country. This BLOG is included in the list of topmost BLOGS created by the
personals of the Department of Posts and being used by them for updating about
the department.
Long
back, when I took over as Circle Secretary of this Association in Pushkar
conference, we started not only from ground zero but more appropriately to say
from minus level. With the cooperation of all the members, the Association could
touch the new heights and gathered a respectful momentum and dignified position in CHQ. It
also gathered the faith of the members in Rajasthan. At the time of my exit in
the year 2009, I was a bit afraid of my successor and worried about the tree I
had planted with the help of my colleagues. Thank God, Shri Parashar completely
washed out my worries and proved himself to be a far better Circle Secretary. I
congratulate and bless him for his success story he has written on the face of
this great Association.
The
Department of Posts is now a days going through a state of transformation and
is on the way to adopt the latest technology. You all are lucky to be the
witness of this great transformation. This might be a period of crisis but
obviously it will provide comfort and relief to the coming generation. I am of
the opinion that CBS in saving bank operations and migration of data of PLI to
Mc camish will bring a revolution in the working of the department. At this
juncture of time, we must keep ourselves technologically updated otherwise our
tag of so called “Back bone of the department” will remain no more with us.
I have no hesitation to say that many of our senior colleagues are completely
dependent upon the system managers and other technologically experts. This
situation is not good for our health. I may narrate here a famous quote “an
educated person of yesterday, if does not learn today, becomes uneducated of
tomorrow.” I hope you will not become an uneducated of tomorrow by keeping
yourself in line with the latest technology being adopted by the department.
Above all, my advice to all of you is to keep your self-respect and dignity always
protected. Treat yourself as a dignified person, learned official and expert
boss among the staff rather than a yes man of the officers.
Finally,
I once again congratulate all our members and urge them to be united for the
betterment of the cadre. We should leave behind our personal interests and work
jointly for the cause of this great Association. I am going to superannuate on
the 31st July of this year and at the time of my departure from the
department, I pray God to bless you. I express my heartfelt gratitude to all of
you for the love and affection shown towards me and assure to be always with
you.
Yours sincerely
(Hari Prasad Sharma)
Ex. Circle Secretary and
Supdt. PSD Ajmer.
