Hi all
This is what placement officers should keep their eyes and ears wide open.
MNC's are great, but places like these can get big numbers on rolls.

Internet kiosks soon in rural post offices: Scindia
Sandeep Joshi
NEW DELHI: After successfully completing modernisation of 500 post
offices, mostly in rural areas, under the initial two phases of Project
Arrow, the Department
of Posts is now set to extend this ambitious project to 4,500 post
offices across India, providing its customers efficient services through
use of modern
technology.
Better connectivity
"In the third phase of modernisation of post offices, we will be spending
Rs. 900 crore for upgrading the infrastructure of post offices, giving
them better
connectivity through broadband and providing internet facilities to our
customers. Within the next six months, all head post offices, 'mukhya dak
ghars'
and other important post offices both in rural and urban areas will be
covered under this project," Minister of State for Communications and
Information
Technology Jyotiraditya Scindia said. He released Project Arrow's Blue
Book, a set of rules and guidelines to be followed by every post office
covered
under the project.
Highly successful
Mr. Scindia said: "The project so far has been highly successful where we
have not only improved delivery of mail and money orders but also given
better
amenities to postmen, particularly to those working in rural areas. Our
aim is to equip all the post offices with the latest technology so that
mail delivery
and money order mechanism gets faster and more efficient. We have
established a system where we can track delivery of mails, money orders
and other articles
delivered through post offices. Similarly, post offices situated in rural
areas will soon have Internet kiosks so that people enjoy the facilities
of both
mailing letters through traditional letter box and interacting through
the Internet," he added.
Assistance
Stating that they have taken help from global consultant McKinsey and
other government agencies in their modernisation programme, Mr. Scindia
said the scope
of Project Arrow was to make post offices, especially in the rural areas,
a window for availing of services, hitherto confined to urban locales.
Larger role
"We want post offices to play a larger role in the social and economic
transformation of the country by taking up new roles and challenges; to
transform
the large manpower into a committed and professional human resource; and
to provide IT enabled services based on state-of-the-art technology," he
said.
After this project is completed, India Post plans to diversify in other
fields such as financing, retail and banking, Mr. Scindia added.
