 R/Sir,

                 This is to bring to your kind notice that Delhi Postal Circle has taken up a business package with Department of Publications Division (DPD), Ministry of Information and Broadcasting in the areas of mutual interest. The DPD is mandated to publish books and journals, as detailed below, on issues of national importance and to make them available to the people across the country at affordable price: 

(i)    One of the important journals of DPD is the “Employment News”  which is published in  English, Hindi and Urdu on weekly basis which has a circulation of 3.4 lakhs per week.  The Employment news is at present reaching their subscribers through its 140 distributors/agents across the country and through ordinary post to its individual subscribers. 

(ii) There is huge demand for Employment News especially in rural / semi urban areas which is benefitting unemployed and under employed youth on job related information provided by said weekly.

2.            In view of the above a high level meeting was held by officers of the DPD, Min. of I & B and Delhi Circle.  DPD (Publiction Division) has requested since the DoP is having ‘one stop shop’ in the form of “Retail  Post”, with its vast network of Post Offices across the country, can be a great help to increase the reach of Employment News. The Ministry further wants to explore the support of India Post in distribution of its books and other journals such as YOJANA, KRUKSHTRA, AAJKAL AND Bal Bharti

3.               It is brought to the notice that the dispatch work of journal has already been undertaken by Delhi Circle. While DPD have informed that the number of complaints received from individual subscribers has reduced but, in Maharashtra Circle, the Postmen staff is not delivering the articles especially to the Sales Emporia in their premises and instead calling them to collect from the PO premises which is unethical.    

4.              In view of the above, I have been directed by the Competent Authority to request you to kindly intervene in the matter so that the important career journals are delivered in the premises of the customer as per norms.

5.              Further a review meeting was also called for by DPD and the following were decided: 

·       Consignments to Sales Emporia will be delivered in one lot same day and should not be staggered over days.  DPD has been intimating the number of copies to be delivered at each Sales Emporia and DoP would pass the same to their respective offices. 

·       More attention will be paid to individual subscribers so that complaints will be reduced further.

 ·       DPD has requested for further intervention of DoP to enhance the reach of Employment News in North-East region as the part of the social responsibility of the Department.

      With regards.

Yours sincerely,

APMG (BD)
