Jyotiraditya M Scindia inaugurates Department of Posts Officers’ Conclave 2024

Department of Posts today held its much-anticipated Officers’ Conclave 2024, a pivotal event aimed at driving transformation and fostering innovation across India’s vast postal network. With a legacy of over 150 years, India Post continues to stand as the backbone of communication in the country, and the conclave marks a significant step towards redefining its role in the digital age.

The event was inaugurated by Shri Jyotiraditya M Scindia, Minister of Communications & Development of North Eastern Region, who delivered an inspiring keynote address. In his speech, the Minister saluted the unwavering commitment of the postal workforce, stating, “India Post is not just about delivering letters and parcels, but about connecting hearts and bridging distances across the country. That’s why I say ‘Rain or shine, Hill or Sea, City or Village – India Post DELIVERS!”

Minister Shri Scindia also said, “There’s no history of India without the Department of Post. Right from the time when messages were tied to pigeons, to the first stamp that was issued in 1852 or the first airmail service in 1911, that’s our history.”

He emphasised the evolving role of India Post as a critical player in supporting the nation’s goals of digital and financial inclusion, while honouring the institution’s deep-rooted history in India’s socio-economic fabric. He emphasised a new dynamic working style that has been adopted under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, that is focused on goal-setting, target and an output-driven approach through collective action and leadership. In an inspiring note, he mentioned the 5 pillars that would lead to the transformation of the Postal Department. These are (i) Lead to Inspire; (ii) Resolve to innovate; (iii) Inclusive Growth; (iv) Transforming through Collective Action; and (v) Staying true to the mission of Jan Sewa.
