Good Morning to one and all present here, we are here to present to you the

assembly talk on the topic “National Postal Day”

(Nayana)
National Post Day is celebrated on October 10 every year and it is an extension of World
Post Day, which is celebrated on  October 9. National Post Day is celebrated to mark the
role played by the Indian postal department in over 150 years.
 
The purpose of Indian Postal Day is to highlight the importance of postal services in
India. Even in the most dreadful times that is during the pandemic, postal employees
risked their lives to deliver packages without delay. It has been proclaimed that more
than 150 nations worldwide celebrate the postal day annually in numerous ways to
understand and recognize the postal system for their service.

Postal service was introduced in India by the British. It was founded in 1854 by Lord
Dalhousie. Currently, it functions under the Ministry of Communications and is the most
widely distributed postal system in the world.
 
The post office delivers mails, remits money in the form of money orders. They also run
small savings schemes, provide life insurance coverage under Postal Life Insurance and
Rural Postal Life Insurance. It also plays an important role in discharging government
services such as payment of pensions to senior and retired citizens. Wages under
MGNREGA is also distributed through post offices.
 
PIN in Pincode stands for Postal Index Number. The 6-digit PIN system was introduced
by Shriram Bhikaji Velankar on 15 August 1972. The first digit of the PIN code marks the
region. The second digit denotes the sub-region. The third digit marks the district. The
last three digits show the post office under which a particular address falls.

The theme for Indian Postal Day for 2022 would be "Post for Planet." It will mark the
importance of postal services offered by workers around the country. Indian Post Day is
celebrated on 10th October every year.

It honours the hard work of postal employees who deliver mails and packages to the
doorstep irrespective of weather conditions. This celebration educates the new
generation about the oldest mode of communication. Hence, despite the
technologically advanced times, postal services still play a significant role.

Thank you and have a wonderful day ahead.
